Abstract Nanotechnology, the science of building atomic, molecular or macro-molecular sized materials, devices, structures or systems is finding applications in different fields. The technology is presently utilized by the chemical, health care, biotech, and manufacturing industries. In the pharmaceuticals, drugs with nano-sized particles are highly efficient with minimal side effects. Micro-scale mechanical and electro mechanical devices are determined to be highly sensitive, durable, and less expensive. Nanotechnology has potential applications in agricultural and food engineering such as exploring biological life processes, monitoring plant and animal health, analyzing and determining product qualities, developing novel materials from agricultural products, and reducing environmental pollutions. This short article reviews the present applications of nanotechnology in other industries and explores its potential applications in agricultural and food industries
