**6. Conclusion**

Latest improvements in nanotechnology and information and communications technology (ICT) exhibit its great potential towards the agri-food sector. Increased fertilizer efficiency, enhancing the plant nutrient absorbtion, Improved quality of the soil, stimulation of plant growth, the use of precise farming, enhancing the food safety, food processing and pakage, distribution and storage, are some of the benefits of nano-based technology in agricultural and food industry. Efficiency and accuracy of the biosensor on detection of agricultural and food safety parameters will be enhanced by the integration of the nanomaterials. The application of biosensor and its efficiency can also be improved further in future by developing of novel nanomaterials that will boost the agriculture and food sector. Therefore, the full potential of nanotechnology in the agri-food sector is yet to be realized. In the coming decades the convergence among nanotechnology, agriculture engineering, and plant science will lead the path towards food security, sustainability, precision agriculture, automation, robotic farming and cost effective technologies. This innovation in technology has important consequences in agriculture.
