Preface
The world around us is changing, there is growing awareness of the state of the environment, and there is developing concern due to the overexploitation of natural resources by mankind. Reduction of food and other resources combined with population growth can lead to hunger. This “new world” has led the nanotechnology to promise to a responsible role in preserving the environment for future generations and, while doing so, to continuously explore for ways to increase sustainable food and environmental resources. The increasing uses of nanoparticles pose challenging issues of safety for the environment and human activity. Phytoengineered nanomaterials from plants are gaining consideration due to their cost-effective, sustainable, resource-efficient, simplicity, and eco-friendly nature. In this book entitled Nanotechnology, the editor has accrued numerous advanced approaches for studying the food and environmental science for the benefit
