Round Table on Responsible Soy Association

The RTRS believes soybean cultivation can be expanded responsibly, for example by using existing agricultural lands more efficiently than before. Farmers may need to make investments to do so, but higher prices for RTRS certified soy, thanks to growing demand for responsible soy, would open up avenues to recovering these costs. As such, RTRS certified soy can work as a mechanism through which global society can remunerate farmers, landowners and countries who make efforts to preserve the world’s most biodiversity-rich areas.
