Attempts to apply nanotechnology in agriculture began with the growing realization that conventional farming technologies would neither be able to increase productivity any further nor restore ecosystems damaged by existing technologies back to their pristine state; in particular because the long-term effects of farming with “miracle seeds” in conjunction with irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides, have been questioned both at the scientific and policy levels and must be gradually phased out.
