The ProTerra Foundation, together with seven partners (IDH, IUCN NL, RTRS, Donau Soja, FEFAC and FEDIOL), has funded the fifth edition of the European Soy Monitor[1], which highlights a slight decrease in certified FEFAC SSG compliant and certified deforestation and conversion-free soy in 2021. The report provides insights on the European uptake of certified, responsible, deforestation and conversion-free soy in 2021, emphasising that 40% of soy consumed in the EU27+ countries is either certified in the physical chain or covered by sustainability certificates compliant with the FEFAC Soy Sourcing Guidelines. It also underlines the importance of a combination of different instruments to address deforestation and promote sustainable soy production, highlighting the commitment of European companies.
