Summary

Nanotechnology, the science of the ultra small, is up-and-coming as the technological
platform for the next wave of development and transformation of agri-food systems. It
is quickly moving from the laboratory onto supermarket shelves and our kitchen tables
(Scrinis and Lyons, 2007). Therefore we investigated in a literature review and a
comparison of the findings with the EU regulation of organic farming to what degree
nanotechnology can be applied in organic food production. The regulations do not
restrict the use of nanotechnology in general. Because little is known about the impact
on environment and human health, precaution should be taken when it comes to
applying this technology in organic food production.
