China is the largest user of mulch film, consuming about 75% of the global use. Mulch film can increase the average yield which has made a great contribution to China's agriculture. However, if not thoroughly cleaned and collected after being discarded, the mulch film will bring plastic pollution to the land and a threat to soil quality and food security. In the interview, Dr. Yan made an in-depth analysis and explanation on the impact of mulch film residue on soil and agricultural production in China and Ms. Hou introduced European experience in agricultural mulch film management.
