Hi Jon,
You will have noticed us talking a lot about soya recently. South America grows around 50% of the world's soya and, as you might know, this has come at a terrible cost. Huge areas of forest are being burnt or cut down to make space for soya plantations.
Who's eating all this soya though? Is it vegans and vegetarians eating soya burgers and drinking soya milk? Or is most of it used as animal feed to produce industrial meat? Click the button to find out.

Soya represents 47% of Europe's deforestation footprint. [1] It's a leading driver of deforestation in South America and is linked to violence and human rights abuses of local communities. But there are a lot of misconceptions about who's eating all this soya. Vegans and vegetarians are being blamed more often because they appear to consume more soya than your average meat eater. But what if I told you that only 6% of soya grown globally was for human consumption?! If only 6% of soya is being eaten by humans, then where is the rest of it going? Watch the video to find out. |
