Nanotechnology in agriculture. Short-term goals focus on reducing waste and losses in plant protection (IPM components) and food preservation (superhydrophobic surfaces). Long-term objectives are to increase yield and productivity via water use efficiency, fertilizers, and sensors. Nanobased solutions targeting waste and losses will immediately impact total agricultural production (TAP) and shift the paradigm of its coexistence with current TAP.
