Plastic products are widely used across agriculture, bringing efficiency gains in food production, but at the cost of increasing environmental risks.
For agriculture—the foundation of global food security—the stakes could not be higher.

By linking sectoral action with global negotiations, this dialogue aims to chart pathways toward agrifood systems that are not only productive and resilient but also free from plastic pollution.
