The rise in global temperatures is directly related to land use, the overuse of agriculture activities with fertilizer soil, the pasture of raising livestock, and the deforestation, which generate about one-third of greenhouse gases. Excessive use of soil causes soil degradation and has a direct impact on the earth's carbon content. To be able to control the temperature rise within 1.5 or 2 degrees C, in addition to reducing the amount of CO2 emissions in the air, it can also increase the accumulation of carbon in the land.

According to the IPCC report, produced by 107 scientists, more than half of who are from developing countries, human beings have affected 70% of ice-free land, and a quarter of them have been degraded. At present, 500 million people live in degradation. Due to the harmful impact of the climate, agricultural land is more difficult to cultivate. There are 820 million people in the world who are malnourished and up to 30% of food is discarded or wasted. More severe droughts have occurred in parts of the world. Through the Mediterranean, Asia, South America, and Africa.

Land abuse and agricultural practices in order to produce more food are driving climate change. The United Nations has called on countries to solve waste problems, minimize land pressure and diminish greenhouse gas emissions by changing the way they eat, such as less meat consumption and the way to grow food.
