Microplastic contamination is a growing concern that affects environment and human health. Agriculture has been identified as a major source of microplastics (MPs) released into the environment, hence mitigating it will require a big paradigm shift across numerous sectors. The most recent research on the origins of MPs in agricultural ecosystems and the dangers they bring is reviewed in this study. Research gaps and future trends are reviewed, along with the regulatory, mitigation, and intervention methods needed to combat plastic pollution of agricultural ecosystems. In conclusion, there is currently a dearth of information regarding the origins and migration routes of MP in agricultural ecosystems, and further study is needed in a variety of farming environments with varying soil and climate conditions.
