Agricultural Microplastics Pollution: From Hidden Threats to Global Food Security Towards Sustainable Strategies

Summary statement As one of the world's most prominent emerging pollutants, micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitously distributed across the atmosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. MNPs could be widely detected in the terrestrial ecosystem and human body. Here, we propose a comprehensive research framework to guide investigation into agricultural microplastics pollution, discuss current challenges in the field, and offer future research directions to better understand and mitigate the impact of MNPs on ecological and food systems.

Abstract

Summary statement As one of the world's most prominent emerging pollutants, micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) are ubiquitously distributed across the atmosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. MNPs could be widely detected in the terrestrial ecosystem and human body. Here, we propose a comprehensive research framework to guide investigation into agricultural microplastics pollution, discuss current challenges in the field, and offer future research directions to better understand and mitigate the impact of MNPs on ecological and food systems.
