EU consumers eat on average 61kg of soy per year.
How is this possible?
You won’t see it listed as an ingredient, but there’s a huge amount of soy that goes into the animal products you find in your fridge.
Relevant data on farmed fish is not yet available
The majority of the soy used in Europe comes from South America.
High in protein and energy, soy is a key part of the global food supply. However, land used for soy production has been converted from forests, savannahs and grasslands - endangering valuable habitats and species.
To stop more forests and habitats being destroyed due to growing soy production, we need to take immediate action.

To prevent immediate habitat loss, we are also asking companies to source products based on soy that has been responsibly produced, such as soy that has been certified by the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) or ProTerra. Contact your favourite retailer, manufacturer or restaurant chain and ask them to source responsible soy.
As a longer term strategy, we need to reduce our consumption of meat and other animal products. EU diets often contain more animal protein than recommended.
