Soy 2020 Vision

By the year 2020, the world will have seen tremendous changes. The world population will most likely exceed 8 billion people, with more than 93 percent
of growth taking place in developing countries. Continued population growth, combined with an increasing economic status in developing countries, will require
a global effort to feed a hungry world and provide the energy to sustain global economic growth.

The Soy 2020 Vision: the U.S. soybean industry will be the global marketplace leader. The Soy 2020 process established strategies to optimize
the U.S. soybean value chain regardless of what the future world unfolds. To fully realize the Vision, the U.S. soybean value-chain (producers and producer associations, input and output channels, and government entities) must fully embrace the vision and strategies, and personalize them as appropriate for implementation.

The Soy 2020 Vision will be realized through the following:

Strive for economic sustainability and a global leadership position through the innovation, adoption and delivery of soy production and trait technologies.

Create a wide variety of output choices for food, feed, fuel and other outputs,
while increasing demand for soy by promoting benefits, such as, higher levels
of health and nutrition.

Take an environmentally responsible leadership role to ensure a secure, safe, sustainable and abundant global food supply to feed a hungry world.

Enable success of all soybean sectors and prepare to work in a coordinated leadership capacity through any situation the future may hold for U.S. soy.
