ClearSustainability Through Bio-Agriculture: Carbon Dioxide Reduction (CDR) Plus Biodiversity Recovery
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it examines sustainable bio-agriculture as a carbon dioxide reduction strategy and biodiversity recovery approach, mentioning microplastics only peripherally in broader environmental discussions.
Enhancing carbon restoration and ecosystem resilience in global drylands via water-to-carbon biotransformation strategies
Researchers synthesized thousands of experiments on dryland farming and found that combining crop diversification, efficient irrigation, soil mulching, and soil health practices can significantly restore carbon to depleted soils while improving water use efficiency. The study argues these strategies are practical pathways for combating climate change and food insecurity in the world's most water-stressed regions.
Leveraging the bioeconomy for carbon drawdown
This paper reviews strategies for large-scale carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere, including bioenergy with carbon capture. The discussion is relevant to understanding how sustainable materials and reduced plastic production fit into broader climate change mitigation strategies.
Degradable film mulching increases soil carbon sequestration in major Chinese dryland agroecosystems
Researchers compared biodegradable and conventional plastic film mulches used in farming and found that biodegradable films increased carbon storage in soil while traditional plastic mulch reduced it, suggesting that switching to biodegradable alternatives could help fight climate change while cutting plastic pollution.
Valorisation of marginal agricultural land in the bioeconomy
This paper reviewed how marginal, abandoned, and degraded agricultural land can be utilized for sustainable biomass production in the bioeconomy without displacing food production or causing indirect land use change.
Agricultural Microplastics Pollution: From Hidden Threats to Global Food Security Towards Sustainable Strategies
This comprehensive review examines agricultural microplastic pollution across the atmosphere, soil, water, and biological systems, proposing a framework linking farming-derived MP contamination to food security risks and calling for integrated approaches to manage MNPs in agricultural systems.
Microplastics divert carbon flow in anaerobic digestion: a meta-analysis reveals product-specific effects
Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 55 studies and found that microplastics do not simply inhibit anaerobic digestion but redirect carbon flow within it — suppressing methane production while boosting volatile fatty acid accumulation — with the direction and magnitude of effects determined by polymer type, concentration, size, and temperature.
Leveraging the bioeconomy for carbon drawdown
This review analyzed opportunities for leveraging the bioeconomy for long-term carbon dioxide removal and storage in biomass-derived products, assessing strategies for carbon drawdown through sustainable bio-based materials.
Plant-driven strategies for mitigating microplastic pollution in agricultural ecosystems
Researchers review how microplastics damage agricultural soils and crops — disrupting soil structure, starving plants of nutrients, and triggering oxidative stress — and explore plant- and microbe-based strategies like root-associated bacteria and biochar amendments as promising but underexplored tools for cleaning up plastic-contaminated farmland.
Environmental Sustainability Assessment of Advanced Agricultural Waste echnologies and Agricultural Territories
This doctoral thesis assessed the environmental sustainability of advanced agricultural waste treatment technologies using life cycle assessment, examining whether biotechnology-based circular economy alternatives are genuinely more sustainable than conventional approaches. It is a broader sustainability research study not focused specifically on microplastics.
Enhancing Organic Carbon Content in Tropical Soils: Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change Mitigation
This review examines strategies for increasing organic carbon content in tropical soils, which naturally tend to have low levels that limit agricultural productivity. Researchers evaluated approaches including cover cropping, composting, biochar application, and reduced tillage as effective methods. The study emphasizes that building soil carbon is essential for both sustainable farming and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in tropical regions.
Characterisation and causal model of the holistic dynamics of the integral sustainability of the agri-food system
Not relevant to microplastics — this is an agricultural systems study developing a structural model to characterize the dynamics of sustainability in agri-food production systems.
Integrating microplastic research in sustainable agriculture: Challenges and future directions for food production
Researchers reviewed how microplastics interact with environmental stressors like heat, drought, and salinity to threaten crop health and food safety, finding that microplastics can increase toxic metal uptake in plants and alter growth — with risks likely to worsen as climate change intensifies.
The Integrated Biochar Industry for Indonesian Rural Area Households: Study case on Forest Biomas and Carbon Sequestration
This book chapter examines an integrated biochar industry model for Indonesian rural households, focusing on forest biomass utilization and carbon sequestration as part of a broader post-pandemic environmental recovery strategy. The study situates biochar production within a multi-sector framework also addressing microplastics, persistent organic pollutants, and circular economy principles.
