Soybeans are a major crop grown as a versatile food source for millions of people worldwide. It is also a major source for animal feed. Today the soybean, like many other food plants, is taken for granted. Where did this plant first originate? When did it become adapted to the needs of man? How can this plant be identified, and what interactions does it have with its environment? Why do we use soy, and what products are made out of it?
