Sustainable Soy to Nourish the World

Soy plays an essential role in global food supply. It is valued for its quality and protein content. However, not all soy is produced equal. For instance, US Soy production follows sustainable farming practices. It is also a responsible choice for those who want a diet that nourishes the environment. Sustainable soy helps produce affordable, complete foods such as chicken, eggs, pork, and fish.

To understand sustainable soy, it is key to emphasize three benefits of US Soy farmers’ commitment: protection of the planet, nutrition for the world, and support for global progress.

Protecting the planet is the top priority for U.S. soybean farming families. Through innovative practices, they improve soil health, capture carbon, conserve biodiversity, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions—helping to mitigate climate change. This year’s targets include improving energy efficiency by 10%, reducing land use impact by 10%, cutting soil erosion by 25%, and lowering total GHG emissions by 10%. To achieve these goals, farmers apply resilient agricultural practices such as cover crops and reforestation.

Nutrition is another fundamental contribution of sustainable soy. Soy contains 35–40% high-quality protein, making it an essential source of nutrients. 2. This composition makes soy a key part of the United Nations’ mission to end hunger and ensure food security worldwide. Based on this, Sustainable U.S. Soy stands as an example of responsible agricultural production aligned with global goals 3

Progress also comes from driving the sustainable soy value chain. From farm to final consumer, every step follows international sustainability standards. This makes U.S. Soy a driver of change that strengthens regional competitiveness, responds to the expectations of Latin American consumers and regulators, and builds confidence in global markets. 4.

In summary, Sustainable U.S. Soy shows that it is possible to feed the world with the highest-quality products. At the same time, farmers protect the planet and promote progress. These three pillars—nutrition, sustainability, and development—guide the global agenda of the Sustainable U.S. Soy brand.
