Knowledge is power, and knowing more about different soy #animalfeed products can have a huge economic impact over the course of a year. You can expect to hear much more about this from @USSEC. Please reach out to a USSEC Team Member to learn more.

For the first time, #aquaculture accounts for more fish production than fishing. #USSoy is a key part of balancing a more resilient #foodsecurity equation by being a nutritious, versatile, and sustainable ingredient in aquaculture feed. earth.com/news/aquaculture-n…

At @USSEC, we are always thinking about the future of #soybeans and what they mean for #foodsecurity. So @NatGeo's look at the long history of what soy has meant to humanity is such an awe-inspiring reminder that we’re continuing the work of millennia. nationalgeographic.com/envir…

New research on #aquaculture operations indicates wastewater from soybean processing for milk and meat alternatives could be useful in feed! The need for more sustainable protein is growing and this could be a novel solution. From @AnthropoceneMag: anthropocenemagazine.org/202…

#Aquaculture feed advancements are key if we want this form of cultivation to balance the food stability challenges of the future! One promising ingredient: Soybeans!
Wondering which novel protein ingredients will make waves in the aquafeed market within the next 5 years? The team at @hatchblue1 has pinpointed promising candidates for inclusion in salmon, shrimp, and tilapia diets. bit.ly/4dvRAub

Last month, USSEC’s global events focused on animal #feed and #aquaculture! USSEC was active at the China Animal Husbandry Expo, the 10th annual Feed Formulation Workshop in Singapore, and AquaCon Invest in Dubai! #USSoy is a valuable part of feed and sustainably farmed fish!

Keeping tabs on the latest data is key to understanding the global economy. Last week, the @USDA released the #WASDE report and I had the opportunity to speak with Virginia Tech’s Jason Grant about what’s inside. Sign up for future updates. blog.ussec.org/ussoyanalysis…

Our first @USSEC Development Academy class recently concluded and I couldn't be more proud of their potential. We designed the Academy to help emerging leaders broaden their knowledge of the #USSoy industry from seed to harvest and beyond. Huge thanks to all who participated!

New, high-efficiency #aquaculture is catching on throughout Asia. Innovation like this is key to global #foodsecurity as our population grows. #USSoy's high suitability as a feed ingredient in aquatic environments is only going to become more important. reasonstobecheerful.world/ad…

Our world runs on #infrastructure. As we’ve seen recently, this critical infrastructure is not immune to “potholes,” as @AgWebEditor writer Steve Cubbage puts it in his recent article. It means we need to think big (and internationally) about resiliency! agweb.com/news/crops/crop-pr…

#Plant24 is well underway for #USSoy farmers around the country!

The Army Corps of Engineers plans to fully open Baltimore's port and the Panama Canal is opening to more traffic. We’re overcoming logistical challenges in #globaltrade, but we must also think big about #supplychain resiliency now and on an ongoing basis. agriculturedive.com/news/pan…

#SoyFoodsMonth is an opportunity to appreciate #soy as part of a healthy diet. At USSEC, I’m also reflecting on how soy plays a key role in global #foodsecurity. #USSoy farmers’ operations are becoming ever more sustainable.

The loss of the FS Key Bridge is a terrible human tragedy that also serves as a reminder of #supplychain issues faced by each industry. This raises questions not just of safety, but of resiliency, redundancy and contingency. lancasterfarming.com/farming…

I and @ArlanFF101 discussed the March Prospective Plantings report, sharing key takeaways for #soybeans: ☁️Weather will be a major factor. 💰It's a good market for buyers. 📈Cuts to interest rates could benefit international trade. blog.ussec.org/ussoyanalysis…

Need more proof of how important exports are? @USDAForeignAg has the numbers: Robust trade and exports are a part of the reason why U.S. ag is strong. #USSoy is part of this success story, and @USSEC’s goal is to keep that going. fas.usda.gov/newsroom/trade-…
