Soya is an important crop best known as a source of protein in food production it is however also the primary source of material used to produce biodiesel. Over 30% of the world’s soya is grown in South America from where Europe imports 97% of its soya. Increasing global demand for soya for food and bioenergy production, coupled with concerns over the environmental impact and sustainability of South American production (deforestation, loss of biodiversity and pollution), are driving demands to increase soya yields for a given land area. Soya requires a constant supply of nutrients to ensure the growth of a healthy, high yield, crop. Of particular concern is calcium since deficiency in this element is a serious problem that leaves soya susceptible to pathogens and reduced yields. The aims of this project are to develop new calcium-containing nutrient formulations, and to enhance technology to monitor calcium uptake and distribution in soya plants. This will increase the yield of soy crops resulting in a decrease in land needed.

大豆是一种重要的作物，在粮食生产中以蛋白质来源而闻名，但它也是用于生产生物柴油的主要材料来源。世界上超过30%的大豆种植在南美洲，欧洲从那里进口了97%的大豆。全球粮食和生物能源生产对大豆的需求不断增加，再加上对南美生产的环境影响和可持续性（森林砍伐、生物多样性丧失和污染）的担忧，推动了对特定土地面积增加大豆产量的需求。大豆需要持续的营养供应，以确保健康、高产的作物生长。特别值得关注的是钙，因为这种元素的缺乏是一个严重的问题，它会使大豆容易受到病原体的影响，并降低产量。该项目的目的是开发新的含钙营养物配方，并加强监测大豆植株钙吸收和分布的技术。这将增加大豆作物的产量，从而减少所需的土地。
