Plastic Pathways Threaten Ecosystems and Undermine Global Food Stability
Summary
Researchers analyzed how plastic pollution—from macro to nanoscale—threatens terrestrial, freshwater, and marine food systems, destabilizing ecosystems that underpin global food security. This is significant because microplastic contamination of crops, fisheries, and water sources creates direct pathways for plastic particles to enter the human food supply.
Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant global challenge, impacting not only environmental integrity but also the foundations of food security across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. The persistent nature of plastics, ranging from macro plastics...
