Sustainable Open Soy – part 1

Problem
The demand for sustainable, deforestation-free soy is increasing, mainly in Europe, and particularly in the Netherlands. Due to the complexity of mass balance certification schemes, provenance and sustainability performance levels are unclear. Additionally, farmers are generally not rewarded for implementing sustainable practices.
Ambition
Using blockchain, soybean farmers are rewarded for implementing sustainable practices, and soy entering the European market is verified sustainable and deforestation-free.
Plan
Start tracking US soy via blockchain from USFRA partner farms, both in a mass balance supply chain with big players (above average farms) and a segregated supply chain with smaller players (below average farms) of the Dutch livestock industry, through to Dutch livestock farmers, to a Dutch retailer who pays a premium.
