Microplastics are now reducing food crop yields worldwide

Yesterday we had another hugely important story that the mainstream media skipped over so quickly you’d only have to blink once to miss it.
Last month, I reported on research evidence that frightening levels of microplastics are accumulating in human brains. Now the other shoe has dropped.
A new meta-study out of China looks at “how microplastics hinder photosynthesis across a wide range of plant species—including crucial food crops.” The study found that microplastics “result in approximately 4% to 14% harvest yield losses of maize, wheat and rice around the globe.” Furthermore, “the problem appears to be worsening, which will impact crop production even more.”
Global food supplies are already stretched thin. If the human population continues to grow at almost one percent per year, and microplastics knock perhaps one percent per year off global food production, mass starvation could well be on the cards.
