The code of conduct aims to address the environmental and social impact associated with plastic, use of agriculture, such as plastic pollution soil degradation, and negative effect on biodiversity. it may include recommendation on reducing plastic waste, promoting recycling and reuses, and raising awareness among farmers and the wider agricultural community.
