Earth School, created in partnership with the UN Environment Programme and Speed & Scale, is an interactive climate education platform designed to equip people with the knowledge and tools needed to help the world reach net zero emissions by 2050.

Among its 10-step climate action plan, one critical pillar stands out for the agriculture community:

Fix Food: Reducing Agricultural Emissions Through Smarter Food Systems

Agriculture is responsible for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Earth School’s “Fix Food” module provides lessons that directly address how farming, food production, and dietary habits impact the climate.

Agriculture-Focused Goal

Reduce global agricultural emissions from 9 gigatons to 2 gigatons by 2050.

Earth School breaks this down into engaging, easy-to-understand lessons, videos, and quizzes covering important topics such as:

What You’ll Learn

• How global diets influence farming systems and climate

• Why reducing livestock-related emissions is essential

• How food waste contributes to climate change

• Climate-smart solutions for agriculture

• Innovative farming models and sustainable farm design

• Environmental impacts of rice production and how to reduce methane emissions

• The role of underwater and alternative farming systems

• Soil health as a powerful climate solution

Sample Agric-Related Lessons

• Can we create the “perfect” farm?

• The problem with rice no one is talking about

• A climate change solution right under our feet (soil)

• Food waste causes climate change — here’s how we stop it

• Why beef is the worst food for the climate

These lessons help farmers, agripreneurs, students, and agriculture enthusiasts understand how food systems contribute to climate change — and what we can do to fix them.

Earn a Certificate

Participants can earn an Earth School Certificate of Achievement after completing any 30 lessons, including agric and food-system modules. This is a great opportunity for:

• Students studying agriculture

• Climate and environmental advocates

• Agripreneurs seeking climate-smart insights

• Extension officers and development workers

Why This Matters for Agriculture

Climate change critically affects farming — from heat waves and drought to pests and reduced yields. Earth School gives agric stakeholders the foundational knowledge needed to:

• Adopt climate-smart farming methods

• Promote sustainable food systems

• Reduce emissions in food production

• Strengthen ecosystem resilience

• Improve long-term food security
