NANOTECHNOLOGIES ARE IN A PLANT - GROWING AND FOOD INDUSTRY
Over the past few years a short word with great potential, nano in the global consciousness entered very quickly. It is imagination to speculate about a strong shift in all aspects of science and technology. So what exactly is nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is a field of applied science, specializing in the production of materials and products which have ultrasmall dimensions and studying the properties of various substances at the atomic and molecular levels. For example, currently a special significance has implementation of highly-precise agricultural technologies, differing in most biological safety. Their characteristic feature is the complexity and mechanization effects on the plant, the environment through the selection of optimum conditions, modes and means of implementation of this influence. Now the research on the use of nanotechnology in the food industy begins, and even the term «nanofood» is introduced. Considering how leaps and bounds the development of this industry, it is not far off time when you can not find in stores products without the prefix «nano».
