In food, nanobiosensors display an unprecedented efficiency for the detection of allergens, genetically modified organisms and pathogens. In agriculture, nanofertilizers improve plant nutrition by releasing nutrients slowly and steadily. Nanomaterials synthesized using biomass such as fungi are further found remarkable to clean waters polluted by heavy metals. However, as newly introduced materials in the environment, nanoparticles may exhibit toxic effects, which are reviewed in this book. In the context of climate change, methods for water desalinization are also presented. 505 0 $a Advances in nano based biosensors for food and agriculture / Kavita Arora -- Physical, chemical and biochemical biosensors to detect pathogens / Brindha J, Kaushik Chanda, and Balamurali MM -- Nanotechnology in the food industry / Arun G.
