**7. Conclusions**

Development of drought varieties of soybean have been highlighted as very necessary for adoption of soybean in the drought prone areas. However adoptable processing technologies for house hold and small-scale industrial concerns remain the basic issue in adoption of the multiplied use soybean. The development of the multipurpose soybean flour provides answers to several challenges of soybean utilization. The use to which the multi purpose soybean flour can be put appear limitless. Adaptability of its production to the rural and sub urban settings and conditions makes it a novel approach to soybean processing and utilization. Its low moisture content and low water activity assures of longer keeping time solving the problem of shelf instability of many soybean products. It also solves the sanitary problems of many rural and sub urban dwellers.

Innovative processing of diverse crops and subsequent fortification with soybean flour and its allied products is one sure way of contending with the nutritional challenges posed by changing climate. Balance in the amino acid profile of such fortified meals and improvement in rheological functional organoleptic and keeping qualities as evidenced from the works reported herein show that there is much that could be accomplished through product complementation. While the battle to feed the teeming world populations go on we advocate product complementation as a means of addressing part of the global food crisis.
