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.

We have a new blog out looking into what is known about the impacts of micro- and nano-plastics on human health. With increasing evidence that micro- and nano- plastics are turning up worldwide in food, water, air and people's bodies, urgent questions are being asked around what, if any, the impacts on human health might be.

SoilPlastic App for citizens, students and farmers: help scientists understand how much plastic ends up in soils

soiplastic

Available on IoS, Android, and in your desktop browser, the recently launched SoilPlastic App allows you to record your sightings of plastic in soils. With these records, you will help scientists to gain a better understanding of the impacts of plastic residues on soil health. This is a key area of research because we rely on our soils for producing 95% of our food. Access our quick-start guide here.
