Soybean farmers have always known their crop ha= many valuable uses. Feeding kids is the one closest to many of our hearts= Therefore, we launched the World Soy Foundation, which reduces malnutriti=n through the power of soy.

That’s why the World Soy F=undation works hard to train parents, cooks and companies to take advantag= of how easily soy is added to wheat, corn, rice, cassava and more. The re=ulting nutritious and delicious foods are as diverse as groundnut stew in =frica, to soy doughnuts in Central America, to naan bread in Afghanistan.<=font>
