‘Always Earth Day for US Soy’ as Farmers Lead Sustainability & Conservation Efforts

With climate in focus and public interest in environmental footprints taking a front seat, leaders worldwide are driving discussions on innovative ways to reduce emissions, save resources, and put the planet first—and many are asking, “How can agriculture be part of the solution?”

This Earth Day, we recognize how U.S. soy growers are leading when it comes to climate change solutions. Throughout the American Soybean Association’s (ASA) 100-year history, soybean farmers have taken steps to improve soil health, reduce runoff, improve water quality, and improve habitats for pollinators and other wildlife. Good stewardship, new technology, and innovative best practices allow U.S. soybean farmers to grow more food on less land using fewer resources.
