| Down on the Farm: The Impact of Nano-scale Technologies on Food and Agriculture |
| Source: ETC Group – Publication date: November 2004 |
 | Over the next two decades, the impacts of nano-scale convergence on farmers and food will exceed that of farm mechanisation or of the Green Revolution. Converging technologies could reinvigorate the battered agrochemical and agbiotech industries, igniting a still more intense debate - this time over "atomically-modified" foods. |

| The Relevance for Food Safety of Applications of Nanotechnology in the Food and Feed Industries |
| Source: Food Safety Authority of Ireland – Publication date: September 2008 |
 | A report has been published by the FSAI on nanotechnology and its potential future applications in food production and food packaging. The report describes the likely benefits for both consumers and manufacturers from nanotechnology but cautions that there is a lack of knowledge about the effects of nanotechnology in the food chain. This knowledge gap needs to be addressed and food safety legislation needs to be strengthened to ensure that the health of Irish consumers is protected. |
