Offered By: Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur via Swayam
Course Description
Overview
Modern agriculture is a chemical intensive process starting from fertilizer, pesticide to food preservation. Modern nanotechnology tools if used judiciously in future, have the ability to offer sustainable development along with the optimal, precision and more effective use of chemicals. In this course, I will be sharing my journey from basic agriculture to modern day nano particle based agriculture practices.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Students of Agriculture Engineering, Biotechnology, Botany, Biochemistry and DesignPREREQUISITES :10+2 in scienceINDUSTRY SUPPORT :Agriculture industry,Seed industry, Fertilizer industry,Food technology industry
