MIcro- and NAno-Plastics in AGRIcultural Soils: Sources, environmental fate and impacts on ecosystem services and overall sustainability
MINAGRIS is assessing the impact of plastic debris in agricultural soils on biodiversity, plant productivity and ecosystem services and their transport and degradation in the environment.
We will provide tools and recommendations for sustainable use of plastic in agriculture at the farm and field levels for ensuring safe and economically viable food systems in Europe.
Minagris Project Overview
Pioneering Sustainable Solutions in Agriculture
Plastic use in agriculture introduces micro- and nano-plastics (MNP) into soils, impacting water dynamics, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity, and potentially affecting farm economies when combined with other pollutants.
MINAGRIS aims to understand and mitigate the impacts of plastic on soil health and farm productivity. The project uses a collaborative approach to raise awareness, reduce contamination, and promote sustainable plastic use, ultimately enhancing Europe’s food systems.
