In May 2009 an new initiative re-branded the intensive and damaging farming of soy as "responsible". It is nothing short of green-wash and will con the public. Over half of the world's soy is grown in South America and Europe is the largest importer. Nearly all soy is used as cheap animal feed but soy oil is increasingly being used as a biofuel. Its well-documented expansion in recent years has led to widespread deforestation, social conflicts, high pesticide use and huge releases of greenhouse gases.
