Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of nanotechnology in agriculture and the food industry marks a transformative advancement, promising significant enhancements in productivity, sustainability, and food safety. In general, the agriculture sector has always embraced technological innovation to meet the growing demands of the global population and address environmental challenges. Nanotechnology, with its inception in the early 21st century, has found applications ranging from targeted pesticide delivery to enhanced food packaging. This convergence of technology and traditional farming practices has opened new avenues for the confrontation of issues related to food security and quality, while minimizing humanity’s environmental footprint. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in nanotechnology that are specifically tailored to agriculture and food production. Our scope includes, but is not limited to, the development of novel nanomaterials for crop protection and soil management, innovative nano-sensors for agriculture monitoring systems, and the application of nanotechnology in food processing and preservation. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers to discuss the impacts, challenges, and future directions of nanotechnology in this critical sector.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
