This review paper examines how nanotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) are combining to advance biodegradable food packaging, with a focus on innovation to solve issues of food safety and environmental impact. Despite its effectiveness, conventional plastic packaging generates a lot of trash and pollution, which makes sustainable alternatives necessary. Although biodegradable polymers, such polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), are becoming more and more attractive, they frequently struggle with cost-effectiveness, durability, and barrier qualities. AI speeds up development and improves functionality by evaluating large datasets on characteristics and performance to help optimize these materials. For instance, machine learning supports quality control and traceability via computer vision and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, and it allows for the correct formulation of packaging materials to optimize sustainability and efficiency. In the meantime, packaging is being innovatively improved by nanotechnology, which uses materials like graphene oxide and nanocellulose to increase strength, flexibility, and moisture resistance. Safety is further improved by real-time food quality monitoring provided by smart packaging equipped with Nano sensors. AI and nanotechnology work together to produce packaging solutions that increase shelf life, decrease waste, and provide opportunities for intelligent and active applications. A revolutionary stride toward more environmentally friendly and safe food packaging is represented by this integrated strategy.
