Dear HLPE Project Team and Steering Committee
Congratulations for this important work. To my mind one gap could be the lack of studies of waste management inside and around the agroecological sites, how the wastes are managed, and where are the deposits on the sites and in their sorroundings. Microplastics pollution at the agroecological sites can be present by endoge (waste mismanagement, plastic mulch presence) or exogen reasons (microplastics trasported due to wind into the agroecological sites), therefore its important to be aware of the risk of microplastic pollution in agrocological areas.
