Abstract :
The needs of the Agrofood sector in terms of fast and low cost analytical devices and systems and the capabilities of the Micro and Nano Technologies are reviewed and main R&D activity carried out in the last years is referenced. Despite the Food sector is very conservative in terms of introducing new technologies in their standard analysis procedures, it is expected that in the near future, sensors and Micro and Nano technologies can play an important role in commercial products.
