Applications and Emergent Solutions for the Nanofood Industry and Nanoagriculture: Technology Landscape, Market Analysis, and Patent Trends.
Review in Nanotechnology, science and applications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is increasingly recognized as a key enabling technology for addressing critical challenges in the global agri-food system, including food security, sustainability, and resource efficiency. As the industry seeks to enhance productivity while reducing environmental impact, nano-enabled solutions such as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, and veterinary delivery systems are becoming pivotal in driving agricultural innovation. This review provides a comprehensive literature narrative review of current and emerging nano-enabled applications in food systems and agriculture, spanning nanoencapsulation, nanoemulsions, nanocomposites, and nanosensors designed for improved bioavailability, stability, and safety. Beyond purely technological developments, the work integrates a market analysis and a patent landscape evaluation (using Espacenet) to identify innovation trajectories and commercialization trends. The most recent developments highlights the emerging convergence of nanotechnology with digitalization, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), highly relevant for precision agriculture, and smart food systems, which is expected to play a key role in translating scientific advances into socially accepted and commercially viable solutions. Nevertheless,despite promising technological and commercial indicators, a significant finding is that most nano-enabled solutions remain incremental formulation-based innovations. Scalability, safety concerns, and the lack of regulatory harmonization represent the primary barriers to widespread adoption. Ultimately, this work emphasizes that a responsible and scalable transition to nanofood and nanoagriculture systems requires integrated, interdisciplinary approaches and a clear focus on overcoming existing commercial and safety hurdles, namely regarding harmonized risk assessment frameworks, standardized characterization methods, and life-cycle-based evaluations.
