According to various societal organizations there is now soy available that has been produced in a responsible manner. What does the Task Force think about this?
This relates to initiatives in which criteria have been defined in the context of small-scale sustainable soy production. Unilateral imposition by individual companies of sustainability criteria shall at most lead to the coming into being of niche markets. It is the opinion of the Task Force that the efforts should be devoted to making the regular bulk stream of soy more sustainable. Therefore, in an international context and via the Round Table on Responsible Soy, the sustainability issues are analysed and subsequently sustainability criteria are developed that can be applied in practice and for which there is sufficient support both in the soy producing countries and in the countries that import the soy.
