Megatrends and emerging issues: Impacts on food safety

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 24(3)

Опубликована: Апрель 4, 2025

The world is changing at a pace, driven by global megatrends and their interactions. Megatrends, including climate change, the drive for sustainability, an aging population, urbanization, geopolitical tensions, are producing increasingly challenging environment provision of safe secure food supply. To ensure robust, safe, supply all, potential safety impacts associated with these need to be understood, mitigation management plans must implemented. This paper outlines relevant megatrends, discusses impact on safety, suggests steps help production in future. Megatrends driving resource depletion, reducing vitality plants animals, increasing geographical spread animal plant pathogens, risk mycotoxins, agrichemical residues, antimicrobial-resistant pathogens contaminating foods, threatening destabilize systems regulatory network. Science-based actions, adopting continual dynamic assessments, alongside use more sensitive accurate methods detection contaminants, may counter challenges. artificial intelligence, robotics automation, enhancement cultures, continued education training workforces, implementation risk-based regulations will preventative controls place. As low-income countries smallholder farmers likely exposed less have resources them, social inequality, unrest, population migration exacerbated unless urgent action taken.

Effects of long-term wastewater irrigation on microplastics pollution in agricultural soil

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Abstract Microplastic (MP) pollution in agroecosystems is a growing concern with unknown consequences for sustainable agricultural activities. Few studies have revealed MPs soil as result of wastewater irrigation, despite the increasing application irrigation and inadequacy conventional treatment plants removing microplastics (MPs). In this study, effect treated (TWW) on accumulation soils Konya City (in Türkiye) potential risks ecosystem were investigated. For purpose, 202 samples taken from 90 TWW irrigated lands 11 non-agricultural control lands, at depths 0–10 cm 10–20 cm, analyzed color, shape, polymer type. The risk level was determined by factor (CF), load index (PLI), (H). relationship between some physico-chemical properties also analyzed. findings study significant difference (P < 0.0001) MP count soils, soils.

Microplastic Transport by Overland Flow: Effects of Soil Texture and Slope Gradient Under Simulated Semi-Arid Conditions

Soil Systems, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 9(2), С. 40 - 40

Опубликована: Апрель 29, 2025

Microplastic pollution in soils and surface waters is a growing environmental concern, yet the mechanisms governing transport by overland flow remain unclear. This study investigated influence of soil texture slope gradient on movement microplastics with different shapes polymer compositions under simulated rainfall typical agricultural conditions semi-arid climate. Small flumes were subjected to controlled simulations replicating rain patterns, microplastic was quantified using collection flasks. The results indicated that neither nor significantly affected total transport. However, fibres exhibited greater retention compared other shapes. Polymer composition did not play major role mobility, except for polystyrene pellets, which transported more readily than polyethylene pellets. Field observations history sludge application confirmed predominance topsoil, reinforcing tendency this shape resist mobilisation. These findings suggest runoff primarily governed particle buoyancy rather properties or inclination. Future research should explore roles size, intensity, organic matter content mobility natural field conditions.
