The crosscutting themes are based on integrating farming systems, nutritional and food security aspects of soy, efficient land and water use, rural entrepreneurship, digital solutions and gender equity.
Overall, the sustainable soy programme seeks to address key structural issues within the sector and empower smallholders to produce more with fewer inputs, efficiently use degraded lands, adapt to climate change and engage with partners. Such activities would improve livelihoods of a large number of smallholders by reducing poverty and increasing food security. Integrated business solutions could minimize the risks and improve business governance with continual improvements towards inclusive and sustainable soy sector transformation.
