It look me less than 90 seconds to discover that main focus of the soybean lab was DEI nonsense like Gender-Responsive Agriculture, Gender Empowerment, and Gender Equity in sub-Saharan farming communities. U of I gives it this nice and sciency sounding name: Soybean Innovation Lab, when it reality, like everything else funded by USAID, it is nothing more than a front for spreading fake agitprop globohomo throughout the world.
