Chemical Pollution Food Systems
Microplastics hinder plant photosynthesis, study finds, threatening millions with starvation. The Guardian.
This article highlights recent research revealing that microplastics are significantly reducing global food supplies by impeding plant photosynthesis. This pollution could potentially put an additional 400 million people at risk of starvation within the next two decades by affecting key crops like wheat, rice, and maize. Researchers call for urgent action to address this issue, as the environmental impact of microplastics is comparable to that of climate change in terms of annual crop losses.
