For years, the use of plastics on the farms has helped farmers increase crop production, improve food quality and reduce the ecological footprint. However, the increasing use of plastic in agriculture has resulted in soil pollution, with plastic residues forming macroplastics, microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP). The EU-funded MINAGRIS project will provide a deeper understanding and tools to assess the MP and NP impact on agricultural soil health. The project will estimate the use of various plastic polymers in agriculture systems. It will analyse their impact on physico-chemical soil properties, soil biodiversity, plant productivity, Ecosystem Services and their potential transfer to other parts of the environment and plants, and it will quantify the consequences of unsustainable soil management.
