The National Soybean Research Laboratory (NSRL) is headquartered
at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. NSRL is involved in
soybean research, outreach and education efforts from production to
consumption. NSRL works to develop alliances both domestically and
internationally with industry stakeholders to find soy solutions to minimize
malnutrition, increase yield, open new markets and engage with those who
are developing innovative processing and utilization technology with the
ultimate goal to expand the scope and size of the U.S. soybean industry
and improve the profitability of U.S. soybean farmers.

HOW TO HELP
Organizations may engage with NSRL on local, state, national and
international programs and projects through participation, collaboration
and contribution. Organizations have purchased SoyCow machines for
orphanages in Guatemala, VitaGoats for villages in Zimbabwe and
nutritional education materials that can be used in classrooms around the
world. NSRL’s work spans the globe and focuses on incorporating soy into
the diets of those who can benefit from the addition of a complete protein.
