About SNI Global

Where science and industry come together with a focus on soy & health

Our Mission

SNI Global aims to provide unmatched value to members and the industry as the scientific organization leading the way in soy and health research, education, outreach and advocacy. SNI Global strives to be a leader in plant protein research and outreach, with an added focus on soybean oil.

The organization leverages member funds, magnifies collaborations, and champions soy at every turn. Members include domestic and international soyfood companies, ingredient companies, processors, soybean farmers, scientists and researchers, non-profit organizations, and more.

SNI Global works to identify, develop, and fund soy-related research priorities and provide evidence of the impact of soy on human health.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. SNI Global also works to remove barriers and build bridges among stakeholders, all who share the goal of better understanding the role of soy in human consumption. Findings are then communicated to members, targeted audiences and the soy industry at large.

SNI Global also focuses on respected and reputable influencers in food and nutrition, connecting with health professionals and researchers to deliver the latest research directly to those who need it.
