*Nano-enabled Agriculture: A Path to Global Food Security in a Changing
Climate*

*Abstract:*

Low use and delivery efficiency of conventional agrichemicals is a
significant impediment to maintaining global food security, particularly
given that a 60-70% increase in food production is needed by 2050 to
support the projected population. Further confounding these efforts is a
changing climate, which will force increased cultivation of crops under
more marginal and stress-inducing conditions. We are using nanotechnology
as a novel and sustainable strategy to increase the delivery efficiency and
efficacy of nutrients and pesticides, as well as to promote increased
resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses. Driving this effort is a focus
on harnessing our ability effectively tune nanoscale material structure and
composition to maximize benefit, increase food security and reduce the
impact of agriculture on the environment.
