It is estimated that one in nine people in the world still has insufficient food for an active and healthy life. Of these undernourished people, the majority live in developing countries1. Undernourishment is characterized by protein-energy malnutrition (stunting, wasting and underweight) as well as micronutrient deficiencies (for eg. vitamins A, D, B6, B12, zinc and iron).

Commercial sustainability of nutritious foods is a cornerstone for countries to improve their food security. The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) used technical assistance and trade to build upon that cornerstone in El Salvador and Guatemala where local companies now manufacture nutritious soy-based foods for multiple markets.
