As there was a lot to learn, please check out this quick summary of the most important things you learned about this topic:<\/p>\n<p>As the global population is increasing and we are facing climate change as well higher demands of energy and water, there will be more stress on food production and distribution. Nanomaterials and nanotechnology could play an important role in the future of agriculture, especially in the production of crops. \u201cNano-enabled agriculture is still in its infancy, but it is an exciting and challenging area that will develop fast in the near future\u201d (Pulizzi, 2019). Thus, nanotechnology will help us feed more people more quickly and more efficiently as well as bringing innovation in the packaging of our food.<\/p>\n<p>Nanomedicine will enable better health monitoring by scaling down health tech meanwhile emerging nanomaterials will provide targeted drug delivery and individualized treatments which will help in the fight against several diseases including cancer. Finally, nanomedicine offers the promise of incredible innovations such as growing human organs for transplant and the creation of a universal vaccine scaffold for the annual flu vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>Nanotechnology will transform our cities to insure renewable energy supply as well as storage. Nano will introduce self-repairing structures and nanoscale sensors to monitor all the vital infrastructures that run our cities such as highways, bridges and powerplants. As well, nano will provide means to store and process data provided by the sensors to ensure the safety of our infrastructures and citizens. Finally, nanotechnology-enabled lightweight and high-strength materials will make reaching the stars a bit easier while nanotubes scrubbers and membranes will give us cleaner air.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bose, D.
