FAO Liaison Offices in Brussels, Geneva and New York together with the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, invite you to an informal briefing on the latest scientific evidence and policy implications for agri-plastic management in agrifood systems.
Plastic products are widely used across agriculture, bringing efficiency gains in food production, but at the cost of increasing environmental risks. In August 2025, FAO released a new report highlighting the most recent scientific evidence on the impacts of plastics in soil and food systems, as well as their implications for plant, animal, and human health. The publication synthesizes cutting-edge research, offering a comprehensive overview of risks and areas of uncertainty, and aims to support informed decision-making across the agrifood policy spectrum.
We are pleased to invite you to a hybrid briefing to discuss how emerging evidence on plastic use in agriculture can support international and national policy actions.
More specifically, this briefing will:
· Present key findings of FAO’s recent knowledge products on the impacts of plastics in agriculture
· Share updates and reflections from INC-5.2
· Facilitate Member State dialogue on national actions and international collaboration
