Soybean is one of the most important sources of protein in animal feed in the world. Majority of soybean produced in the world is soybean developed with the help of genetic modification and importation of such soybean within European Union is necessary due to lack of production. Despite its many health benefits, soybean has not yet become the norm in human diet outside the Asian continent. In Croatia areas used in soybean production are constantly increasing, however soybean is still grown in relatively small quantities. Domestically there are no varieties specifically developed for processing into products meant for human consumption. Technology for production of soybean for human consumption has several specific requirements: colorless hilum, high content of raw protein within seed, improved content of fatty acids and reduced content of antinutrient substances so as to achieve the highest possible nutrient value of the final product. Soybean production for human consumption using principles of organic agriculture presents a possibility for our producers to achieve competitiveness on the european market by offering products that are high in demand and production possibilities of which are limited mainly to the area of Eastern and Central Europe. The development of varieties with enhanced seed composition and suitable for organic production are necessary to stimulate the production of this valuable legume.
