Micro- and nanoplastics, metagenomics, and food systems: toward an integrated perspective

Key Points

• Microplastics and nanoplastics significantly affect food systems and biodiversity.
• Key metrics on ecological impact reveal a strong correlation between pollution and food safety.
• Observational analysis of metagenomic data across various ecosystems highlights the complexity of interactions.
• This work supports the necessity for a unified perspective on pollution's effects in food systems.
