It offers packaging that can sense when food contents are spoiling and alert consumers. In agriculture, it portends various applications aimed at reducing pesticide and water use, improving plant and animal breeding, and creating nano-bioindustrial products. Using public available data on current government funded research projects in agrifood nanotechnology, Jennifer Kuzma and Peter VerHage, from the University of Minnesota Center for Science, Technology, and Public Policy (CSTPP), have produced one of the first analyzes of the current level and nature of the federal agrifood nanotechnology research portfolio that estimates on possible areas and timeframes for commercialization, and takes an early look at potential benefits and risks. It also has resulted in creation of a database with over one hundred and sixty research projects (publicly available and searchable with Microsoft Access).  </style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.nanotechproject.org/</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
