The MINAGRIS project will assess 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 aims to contribute to healthy soils in Europe by providing a deeper understanding and tools to assess the impact of microplastics and nanoplastics in agricultural soil health.

EU project to explore the impacts of plastic debris on soil health and agricultural productivity

The impacts of plastic debris on soil health are largely unknown despite equal, or possibly greater, amounts of plastics entering soils as are reaching our rivers, seas, and oceans1. MINAGRIS, an EU-funded project which launches today, will explore how plastic debris is affecting soil biodiversity, soil functions, related ecosystem services, and agricultural productivity.
