The World Initiative for Soy in Human Health or WISHH is celebrating a 20-year milestone of developing markets for soy around the globe and improving food security. Toronto, South Dakota farmer David Iverson first became involved in WISHH a decade ago and says it has made significant inroads in expanding soybean exports.

He says the WISHH program targets areas where there is food insecurity and uses soy products to introduce more protein into the diet.

However, Iverson says they’re also helping farmers in impoverished countries learn how to use soy in livestock, poultry and aquaculture rations. Over time this results in increased soybean exports around the globe.

WISHH is a program of the American Soybean Association.
