Plastic Waste Pollution in Minnesota: Ecological, Agricultural, and Public Health Impacts

Published

Journal of Global Research (JGR)Vol. 11, Issue 2 (2025)

This study explores how plastic waste is affecting Minnesota's soil health, crop productivity, and community well-being — and how software-based innovations can help track, manage, and mitigate these environmental challenges.

Key Insights:

  • Microplastics disrupt soil microbiomes, altering nutrient cycles and crop yield potential
  • Plastic residues in farmlands contribute to contamination pathways reaching food and water systems
  • Proposed data-driven waste-tracking framework uses satellite imaging + machine learning to detect and localize pollution
