Abstract: 
The study assessed Soybean Processing for sustainable Food Nutrition among major crops produced in the North Central (Nasarawa State) the sample size was 92 respondents using well-structured questionnaires. The data of the survey was analyzed using descriptive, inferential and logit model. In the study, it was observed that soybean is meanly processing using traditional method 94.6%, the result indicated 26.6% of the respondents used both wet and dry method in soybean processing. Despite the problems associated with processing of soybean, the study showed that majority of respondents (45.7%) used soybean incorporated in other feed. The mean of processing methods was 0.50 out of 48 with standard deviation of 0.51, with standard deviation of 0.49 in Age and (Wald 0.000) income technique. It was recommended that processors should be assisted with credit facilities to enhance their productivity in soybean production and utilization.
