Scope note
Notes about the usage and scope of the concept.- Over the past decades, plastic has become an integral part of agriculture. Plastics are used for everything from seedling trays and irrigation tubing to mulch and livestock feed bags. While these plastic products can enhance crop yields, reduce water demand, and decrease the use of agrochemicals, they also lead to environmental degradation and long-term soil contamination. The accumulation of plastic waste in agricultural lands harms soil health, disrupts ecosystems, and poses a growing challenge to sustainable farming practices.
