Annually, the US Soybean Research Collaborative hosts a Soybean Research Forum & Think Tank. The goal of this event is to provide a broad exchange and prioritization of needs, information and opportunities for future soybean research. Participants include farmer leaders, soy checkoff staff, public and private researchers, agribusiness professionals, and federal agency representatives. This year, the theme is ‘Transparency and Traceability: Opportunities for Soy’. The key goal is to examine soybean research opportunities, potential solutions, and challenges in the traceability/transparency space.
