Agriculture is a booming industry in Brazil, but the two-fold punch of an increasing population and agricultural output threatens the country’s plentiful water supply. According to this article, nanotechnology and clean technology entrepreneurs will find great opportunity in Latin America’s largest economy. Brazil\u2019s fresh water supply is one of the largest in the world, and has, in part, made it possible for the country to become one of the world’s breadbaskets. The water supply is not, however, infinite, and the future poses both challenges for agribusiness, and opportunities for entrepreneurs. Nanotechnology start-ups that develop innovations such as those which allow for the controlled release and filtration of fertilizers, new composites for engineering applications, waste processing, and improved food packaging, would be welcome to Brazilian farmers and those interested in participating in the country’s clean-tech sector. Private investment would also be welcome, as the Brazilian government has invested less than US$100 million in its nanotechnology research centers over the past decade.
