We invite you to join our mission to educate and motivate people to act NOW.
Food for Humanity: Soybeans
MGI's new project, Food for Humanity: Soybeans, is a film documentary which will share the history of the soybean food culture in the United States and Japan and will follow MGI's implementation of a pilot program in Benin, Africa.
The film will educate people on the importance of growing and eating organic, non-GMO soybeans to help mitigate the environmental impact of diets high in animal foods. In addition to highlighting possibilities for cooking with soybean products, it will also address the health-providing benefits of soybeans in their traditional forms, such as miso, tempeh, tofu, and natto.
MGI's pilot program documented in the film will take place in Benin, Africa where MGI will provide funding and oversight for:
engaging a local farmer to produce organic, non-GMO soybeans using regenerative farming methods;
empowering a local entrepreneur to make and distribute soy milk, tofu, and tempeh;
delivering education in the local community around the health benefits of soybean products; and
helping integrate soybean products into their local food culture.
You can help us bring health and wellness to the world by supporting MGI's educational initiatives.

What MGI students are saying:
Level 2 was well organized, and a wonderful addition to my macrobiotic practice. Sheri, Patricio and Lorraine made a great team, as well as being excellent teachers. I have been practicing Macrobiotics for 35 years; this course helped me to refine my practice and expand my cooking repertoire. I looked forward to the topics covered each week, from an indepth lecture on yin and yang, to lifestyle practices, to global awareness and climate change. In addition, the recipes and cooking videos were top notch. I’ve tried most of them already, and enjoyed them with family and friends. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to feel more healthy, vibrant, and more in control of their own health, and hence their life!- - Anita D.
