NanoForAgri 2020

The 4th annual International Conference 'NANOFORAGRI 2020' with the main theme 'Application of Nanotechnology for Sustainable, Productive and Safer Agriculture and Food System' was a unique Virtual International meeting exclusively dedicated to the application of nanoscale science and technology in re-engineering the quality, quantity and safety of agricultural and food systems. Due to the global situation with the COVID-19 Pandemic, the conference was held as an online event bringing together highly-accomplished experts with diversified backgrounds across the globe. The event was truly interdisciplinary in nature and encompassed the basic studies, applications, global challenges and globally harmonized systems for nano solutions for agriculture and food systems.

NanoForAgri 2019

The 3rd International Conference NANOFORAGRI 2019 on "Nanobiotechnology for Agriculture: Technologies for Future Food and Agriculture" was organized by TERI Deakin Nanobiotechnology Centre in collaboration of Department of Biotechnology, India at Aerocity, New Delhi. The conference brought together scientists, researchers, industries and technocrats with disruptive ideas with the purpose of advancing research and product development within the field of food and agriculture nanotechnology. The conference showcased talks and discussion on thematic topics and application areas of Nanotechnology in food and agriculture including crop protection, nano-nutrients for plants, food preservation, post-harvest management, smart delivery system and upcoming technologies. NANOFORAGRI 2019 was an exciting platform for presenting and discussing translational and disruptive technologies that covers topics based on application of nanotechnology in the food and agriculture sector.

NanoForAgri 2018
