It has the ability to prevent soil erosion, conserving soil and water and it also promotes soil fertility, due to climate change whereas dense plantations of trees would also helps to absorb CO2 and regulate local temperature and reduce some pressure on forests. Soybean has a variety of benefits to farmers, industry, food processors and consumers.
