This summer I presented the results of my study about the potential
contributions of nanotechnology to the agricultural sector. One of my classmates from Ghana made a very intriguing
comment: he said that nanotechnology seems like a promising
technology for the ag sector, but was concerned that farmers in Africa have enough
problems to worry about without transferring new technologies and that
nanotechnology could even aggravate their current problems of food
security. I did not have, at that moment, a convincing answer to give
him.
