The European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) has recently published a report on the workshop entitled "Nanotechnology for the agricultural sector: from research to the field", held on 21^st- 22^nd November 2013 at the JRC Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS), Seville, Spain. The purpose of the workshop was to review state-of-the-art nanotechnology R&D within the agricultural sector and to analyse possible markets and commercial pipeline of products.

The report details the presentations and discussions from the workshop's five sessions:

1. Overview of nanotechnology applications with a focus on agricultural Nanotechnology
2. Nanotechnology research activities in the agricultural sector
3. Case- studies on developing industrial application of agricultural Nanotechnology
4. Developments in Nanotechnology Risk Assessment and Regulation
5. Socio-economic issues of agricultural Nanotechnology
