The Age of the Soybean: An Environmental History of Soy During the Great Acceleration

Edited by Claiton Marcio da Silva & Claudio de Majo (2022, open access!)

The soybean is far more than just a versatile crop whose derivates serve the protein needs of a meatless diet. One of the world’s most important commodities, soy represents the embodiment of mechanised industrial agriculture and is one of the main actors behind the socioeconomic, political and ecological transformations of industrial farming in several world regions. Despite the crop’s potential as a cheap source of vegetal protein for human consumers, most industrial soybean production has fuelled the global meat industrial complex, as animal feed. Soybean is thus, paradoxically, still a relatively ‘invisible’ crop to the public at large, although its global yields continue to increase at stupendous rates, lining the pockets of agribusiness and to the detriment of traditional agriculture. The transnational socio-ecological and economic entanglements characterising this versatile legume’s global expansion have prompted scholarly attention as researchers around the world have begun to unveil the main historical drivers behind the rise of the soybean in the global food chain. This book aims to expand the analysis, offering the most significant effort so far at an environmental history of soybeans. Interrogating the socioeconomic and ecological transformations determined by (and determining) the rise of soy in international food chains during the Great Acceleration, the volume gathers contributions from an international cast of researchers, working in numerous geographical contexts, from Japan and China, to India, African nations, the Southern Cone of Latin America, Northern Europe and the United States. Soybean farming, breeding, processing and marketing have bound together the histories of these diverse regions and altered beyond recognition their ecological and socio-economic contexts.

Globalizing the Soybean: Fat, Feed, and Sometimes Food, c. 1900–1950 Ines Prodöhl (2023, PDF open access)

Ines Prodöhl’s Globalizing the Soybean: Fat, Feed, and Sometimes Food, c. 1900-1950 (Routledge, 2023) is a history of how, why, and where the soybean became a critical ingredient in industry and agriculture in the first half of the twentieth century. Focusing on Japanese-dominated Manchuria, Germany, and the United States, Prodöhl shows that the soybean was a serendipitous solution to numerous and varied crises from the beginning of the century into the post-WWII decades. This story of imperialism, globalization, and technology begins in northeast China, the world’s soy cultivation center until the 1940s. It takes us to Germany, the number one importer of soybeans in the interwar period, and illuminates the various ways in which soy was integrated into the economy especially after the end of WWI as both an invaluable oilseed for industry and a source of protein-rich fodder for agriculture. Finally, Prodöhl explores how the United States first adopted the soybean mostly as a solution to overtaxed soils. Mixing economic, ecological, political, and technological/scientific history with a keen sense of the materiality of soy as a global product, Globalizing the Soybean is an accessible and enlightening book that will appeal to multiple audiences.

The Government of Beans: Regulating Life in the Age of Monocrops

Kregg Hetherington (2020)

The Government of Beans is about the rough edges of environmental regulation, where tenuous state power and blunt governmental instruments encounter ecological destruction and social injustice. At the turn of the twenty-first century, Paraguay was undergoing dramatic economic, political, and environmental change due to a boom in the global demand for soybeans. Although the country's massive new soy monocrop brought wealth, it also brought deforestation, biodiversity loss, rising inequality, and violence. Kregg Hetherington traces well-meaning attempts by bureaucrats and activists to regulate the destructive force of monocrops that resulted in the discovery that the tools of modern government are at best inadequate to deal with the complex harms of modern agriculture and at worst exacerbate them. The book simultaneously tells a local story of people, plants, and government; a regional story of the rise and fall of Latin America's new left; and a story of the Anthropocene writ large, about the long-term, paradoxical consequences of destroying ecosystems in the name of human welfare.

The Story of Soy

Christine M. Du Bois (2018)

The humble soybean is the world’s most widely grown and most traded oilseed. And though found in everything from veggie burgers to cosmetics, breakfast cereals to plastics, soy is also a poorly understood crop often viewed in extreme terms—either as a superfood or a deadly poison. In this illuminating book, Christine M. Du Bois reveals soy’s hugely significant role in human history as she traces the story of soy from its domestication in ancient Asia to the promise and peril ascribed to it in the twenty-first century. Traveling across the globe and through millennia, The Story of Soy includes a cast of fascinating characters as vast as the soy fields themselves—entities who’ve applauded, experimented with, or despised soy. From Neolithic villagers to Buddhist missionaries, European colonialists, Japanese soldiers, and Nazi strategists; from George Washington Carver to Henry Ford, Monsanto, and Greenpeace; from landless peasants to petroleum refiners, Du Bois explores soy subjects as diverse as its impact on international conflicts, its role in large-scale meat production and disaster relief, its troubling ecological impacts, and the nutritional controversies swirling around soy today. She also describes its genetic modification, the scandals and pirates involved in the international trade in soybeans, and the potential of soy as an intriguing renewable fuel. Featuring compelling historical and contemporary photographs, The Story of Soy is a potent reminder never to underestimate the importance of even the most unprepossesing sprout.

KEY POINTS

Cargill, the largest privately held company in the U.S. with $165 billion in 2022 revenue, is investing for the long game in plant-based food and a world which it forecasts will need 70% more protein over the next three decades.

The agribusiness giant got into the market later than buzzy startups including Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, as well as traditional rivals Tyson Foods, Hormel Foods and Smithfield Foods, but it is growing its alternative-protein portfolio including lab-grown beef, chicken and fish made from animal cells.

The plant-based protein boom has stalled, with buzzy startups humbled and food giants retreating, but Cargill forecasts 70% more protein consumption over the next 25 to 30 years. "That protein has to come from somewhere," says its chief technology officer and head of R&D, Florian Schattenmann.

The plant-based protein boom has stalled, with buzzy startups humbled and food giants retreating, but Cargill forecasts 70% more protein consumption over the next 25 to 30 years. “That protein has to come from somewhere,” says its chief technology officer and head of R&D, Florian Schattenmann.

Cargill

Cargill is hardly a household name among consumers — even though it’s the largest privately held company in the U.S., with $165 billion in revenue in its fiscal year 2022. The 158-year-old Minneapolis-based agribusiness giant produces a slew of branded and private-label meats and food ingredients and offers a wide range of agriculture-related products and services.

In the last few years, flying somewhat under the public radar, Cargill has also become a formidable player in the plant-based meat industry, which has come back down to Earth after its meteoric rise about a decade ago, when venture-capital-backed disruptors Beyond Meat

and Impossible Foods came on like gangbusters. Traditional meat companies, including Tyson Foods, Hormel Foods and Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods, jumped on the bandwagon, and the marketplace was soon flooded with faux beef, chicken and sausage.

Strategically, Cargill joined later in the game, and is now positioning itself to win the food fight that its competitors started.

In February 2020, almost a year after Beyond Meat’s IPO, Cargill introduced private-label plant-based patties and ground products for global retail and foodservice markets. Later that year, the company came out with a branded line — called Crave House, featuring plant-based burgers, ground, meatballs and sausages — for those same markets, as well as e-commerce channels. Additionally, Cargill began marketing several plant-based protein ingredients, made from soy, pea and wheat, to food and beverage manufacturers worldwide.

“We are a unique player,” said Florian Schattenmann, Cargill’s chief technology officer and head of research and development. “We have everything from the ingredients to the final meat-processing and distribution, and don’t play in fancy brands. That’s our strategy. I wouldn’t say it’s tempered, but deliberate and thoughtful, knowing where our strengths are and not overbuilding in watching the market.”

Pea Protein Market: Trends and Future Growth Prospects

The global pea protein market size is expected to reach USD 4.71 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. 

The demand for pea protein is anticipated to be driven by several factors such as functional benefits, its suitability for individuals with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and growing preference for plant-based diets due to health and environmental concerns.

Pea protein is naturally free from common allergens such as dairy, soy, and gluten. This factor has contributed to its popularity among people with food allergies, sensitivities, or dietary restrictions. Additionally, pea protein is often non-genetically modified, which appeals to consumers seeking natural and clean-label products.

The increasing prevalence of health issues such as obesity and diabetes, particularly among younger generations, has resulted in a growing preference for vegan diets. Furthermore, animal rearing negatively impacts natural resources and contributes to global warming to some extent. Although this impact has not been precisely measured, it is widely acknowledged, and awareness of this factor has encouraged the adoption of a more plant-based diet, thus boosting the meat substitutes market. As a result, pea protein as a meat substitute is expected to become more prevalent during the forecast period due to its excellent texturing properties, which make it suitable for use in the production of meat products such as chicken, beef, lamb, and mutton.

Earthworm Meal Market Growth Rate Projections: Key Insights into Forecasting and Competitive Dynamics

Earthworm meal market growth has been a topic of rising interest in recent years, as demand for sustainable agricultural inputs and protein sources continues to grow. The market for earthworm-based products, particularly meal, is expanding at a remarkable pace, driven by its potential to revolutionize animal feed, soil health, and organic farming.

The journey of earthworm meal began as a niche product, largely unknown outside the world of organic farming and sustainable agriculture. However, with the increasing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional animal feed production such as its high carbon footprint and reliance on soy and fishmeal the search for alternatives led to the rise of earthworm meal as a viable solution. Rich in protein, amino acids, and essential minerals, earthworm meal offers an eco-friendly, renewable resource that aligns with the global push towards sustainability.

Market analysts, however, weren’t initially convinced that the earthworm meal market would take off. Projections for growth were slow at first, as the industry had to overcome skepticism and establish a clear value proposition. But by the end of 2022, many had shifted their perspectives. Earthworm meal was no longer just a curiosity it was becoming a staple in animal feed formulations, especially for aquaculture and poultry farming, where the demand for high-quality, protein-rich feed was growing rapidly.

A closer look at the market dynamics reveals several key factors driving this growth. First and foremost, the rise of the circular economy has played a pivotal role in elevating earthworm meal as a preferred protein source. Earthworms thrive on organic waste, which can include food scraps, manure, and agricultural residues. This creates a sustainable closed-loop system that aligns perfectly with the growing trend of minimizing waste and reducing environmental footprints in agriculture. As a result, farmers and manufacturers have begun to embrace earthworm meal as a sustainable feed ingredient that not only supports animal nutrition but also reduces dependency on environmentally harmful ingredients like fishmeal.

Furthermore, the competitive landscape in the earthworm meal market has become increasingly dynamic. In the early stages, there were few players, and the competition was limited. However, as the benefits of earthworm meal became more apparent, larger companies in the agriculture and food sectors began to take notice. This led to an influx of investments in earthworm farming technologies, research into scaling production, and even partnerships between established feed companies and startups specializing in earthworm-based products. As the market matures, companies are constantly innovating to improve production efficiency and meet the increasing demand for earthworm meal.

In terms of growth projections, experts forecast a steady annual growth rate in the earthworm meal market over the next decade. The market is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6-8% between 2024 and 2032. Factors such as the rising global population, the increasing shift towards plant-based and alternative proteins, and greater emphasis on environmental sustainability are all contributing to the optimistic outlook. Additionally, research into the potential benefits of earthworm meal as a soil amendment has further expanded its appeal, creating new revenue streams for earthworm meal producers.

The competitive dynamics of the earthworm meal market continue to evolve, with more players entering the fray and innovations driving production costs down. To remain competitive, companies are focusing on scaling up operations, improving the nutritional profile of their products, and ensuring transparency in their sustainability claims. As the market grows, it will be interesting to see which companies can capitalize on the increasing demand and position themselves as industry leaders.

As we look to the future, it’s clear that the earthworm meal market is on the cusp of a significant transformation, with its growth rate projections pointing to a promising horizon. In an age where sustainability and efficiency are key drivers of business success, earthworm meal is proving that sometimes the smallest creatures can have the biggest impact.

Plant-Based Meat: How Technology is Changing the Food World

Today, supermarket shelves are stocked with "meat" that isn’t meat at all. Vegan burgers, sausages, and meatballs — all made from plant-based ingredients, yet they almost perfectly mimic the taste and texture of real meat. How did this become possible? Let’s explore the history, technology, and features of plant-based meat, which is revolutionizing the future of food.

The History of Plant-Based Meat

The idea of replacing meat with plant-based products originated in the 19th century among vegetarians who sought ethical eating without animal products. However, the real breakthrough came in the 2010s when innovative products capable of replicating the taste and texture of real meat using modern technology hit the market.

What Ingredients Are Used?

The main ingredients for plant-based meat are proteins from soy, peas, rice, and wheat. Fats are replaced with plant oils, such as coconut and canola oil. To give it the red color typical of raw meat, beetroot extract or plant-based heme (hemoglobin) is used. These components are carefully processed to achieve a texture similar to that of meat fibers.

Breakthrough Technologies

The major achievement in recent years has been the refinement of the texture and taste of plant-based meat. Modern technologies now allow manufacturers to replicate not only the taste but also the sensation of chewing, characteristic of real meat. One key development is the fermentation of plant proteins and the addition of natural flavorings to create a rich "meaty" taste. Companies are also focusing on reducing the carbon footprint and water usage in the production of plant-based meat, making these products even more appealing to eco-conscious consumers.

Interesting Facts

1. In plant-based meat, "blood" is often created using beetroot extract, which gives the product a realistic appearance and juice similar to that of real meat.

2. Plant-based meat production requires up to 90% less water and land compared to traditional livestock farming.

3. Plant-based meat helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, producing up to 89% less carbon dioxide than regular meat.

Medical Research

Plant-based meat is seen as a healthier alternative to red meat. Studies show it contains less saturated fat and cholesterol, reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, plant-based products are often rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. However, scientists emphasize that not all such products are equally healthy: it’s important to pay attention to the salt content and the degree of processing of ingredients.

Three Simple Recipes with Plant-Based Meat

1. Plant-Based Burger

1 plant-based patty

1 burger bun

Lettuce

Tomato and onion (optional)

Sauce (ketchup, mustard)

Fry the patty in a pan until golden brown on both sides. Slice and warm the bun. Assemble the burger by placing lettuce on the bottom bun, adding the patty, tomato, and onion, and topping with sauce. Close with the top bun.

2. Stewed Vegetables with Plant-Based Mince

200g plant-based mince

1 bell pepper

1 zucchini

1 onion

Olive oil

Slice the vegetables and sauté them in olive oil until soft. Add the plant-based mince and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice or pasta.

3. Spaghetti with Plant-Based Meatballs

200g spaghetti

5-6 plant-based meatballs

Tomato sauce

Basil (for garnish)

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Fry the meatballs until golden brown. Add tomato sauce and heat it with the meatballs. Serve the spaghetti with the meatballs and garnish with fresh basil.

Plant-based meat is not just a trend, but the future of food, where technology is helping to create tasty, eco-friendly, and ethical products. The development of these products shows that innovations in food can not only satisfy our taste preferences but also help preserve the planet.
