U.S. soy products in developing
countries where rapidly-growing
populations of all income levels
can benefit from soy in their
diets. WISHH activities range
from identifying new uses for
soy-fortified noodles in Indone
sia, to providing a corn-soy blend
to hurricane victims in Nicara
gua, and to research on how soy
based foods may provide essen
tial nutrition to the millions of
people affected by HIV/AIDS.
The WISHH Program also
aids U.S. PVOs that can request
the soy products from USDA
and USAID for their internation
al assistance efforts. WISHH
supports PVOs in developing
proposals to USDA and USAID
for use of soy products that will
benefit the people receiving
assistance from the PVOs
The newly reviewed
products offer positive op-
tions for PVOs and others. Soy
flour provides a nutritional boost
to breads, tortillas or in ground
meat, while soy protein concen
trates can serve as a protein
supplement. Uses for soy protein
isolates range from nutritional
beverages to soups, sauces and
