Soy protein production can negatively affect the environment primarily through deforestation, as large-scale soy farming often leads to clearing of natural habitats, particularly in South America, resulting in biodiversity loss and greenhouse gas emissions from the destroyed forests; while soy itself can be considered a relatively environmentally friendly protein source compared to animal protein, its production methods can still have significant environmental impacts if not done sustainably

Converting forests and grasslands into monocrop farmland for soya releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which cause climate change.
