The main goal of the operation is to increase income in agricultural farms by providing the farmer with a comprehensive methodology for cultivating, fertilizing and protecting conventional varieties of soybeans, selected during field tests and showing the highest efficiency and adaptation to nutrition through extrusion of seeds and their use in optimally balanced feeds used in livestock. One of the acivities of this operation will be the economic analysis of the profitability of soybean cultivation, its extrusion and use for feeding in its own farm on the example of swine and dairy cattle.

As part of the operation, field tests and tests on suitable soybean varieties, seed inoculants and improvement of weed control will be carried out, leading to maximization of yields and minimization of conventional soybean cultivation costs. In addition, five farms from the Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Wielkopolskie voivodeships will run 5 ha of soybean development for two years. Soybean seeds from own production will be used for feeding swine and dairy cattle on their own farms. Farmers will buy extruders and use the extrusion service, for the production of soy meal ready for feeding in their own livestock production.

The final result of the operation is an increase in farmers' incomes of the consortium participants, which is planned to be achieved as a result of taking action, having in mind changing market needs, while applying innovative elements. The innovations applied, on the one hand, enable the implementation of pro-market changes, and on the other hand, they reinforce their beneficial economic effect for the farmer. Due to the fact that conventional soybean as a cultivated plant responds to environmental conditions in a special way, those relating to the climate, and the operation will be carried out on farms located in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie and Wielkopolskie Voivodships, the obtained results will refer to farms located in the belt of latitude from the parallel of 52 N to 54 N. Scope of the operations related to the use of soybean seeds for feeding during swine feeding, beef cattle and dairy cows is universal and can be used throughout the country. Also, the needs for food products obtained from the implementation of GMO-free plants have a national and European scale of importance, which is confirmed by analyzes of consumer expectations and preferences in the use of GMO-free feeds in the European Union countries.
