Nuclear technology can play a transformative role in enhancing food security and agricultural sustainability. Discuss.

Nuclear technology takes into account strong muddies force among subatomic particles as its working principle. Nuclear technology is essential in enhancing food security and agricultural sustainability: 1) Providing electricity needed in forms for irrigation through nuclear energy → More reliable (since not affected by weather) → Less polluting 2) Radiation of foods → To increase its self life by destroying microbes 3) In powering cold storage and godowns through nuclear power 4) Nutritional fortification of grains through irradiation for balanced diet. Hence, nuclear technology can be next big play in enhancing food security and agricultural sustainability. But the problem of accessibility and inclusivity should be given due respect.
