Good morning honored Colleagues!
This is an interesting term and I would appreciate your help in translating it. I haven't found a satisfying translation in the dics or KOG, although Linguee provides 'source identified' as a not-so-elegant option. I would love to find a term that includes 'secure' in some form. Source secure or source guaranteed or guarantee of origin or origin ensured, all of which fail to provide the 'feel' of a term that sounds both natural and long-established.
The initiative, by the way, is supported by Greenpeace, WWF, BUND, etc. and is, in my opinion very much worth an appealing, excellent translation:
Um dieser Herausforderung wirkungsvoll zu begegnen, hat sich ausgehend von Österreich die Initiative Donau Soja gebildet: Donau Soja fördert den Anbau von Qualitäts¬soja in der Donauregion – als Basis für eine qualitativ hochwertige, herkunftsgesicherte und gentechnikfreie Futtermittel- und Lebensmittelproduktion. Und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag für eine eigenständige europäische Eiweißversorgung.
Nun bin ich sehr gespannt!

Many thanks, Milady! How about a nice adjective? Positively traceable? perfectly traceable? |
SO SORRY Frederik! for some reason I thought you were female! Thank you Milord! (I am usually addressed as Sir) |

This is what I was thinking, but it gets no hits on a Google search...

Hi Bill, You just hit the wrong tab. I could really care less about Google hits. People don't hire me to render the common translation, I have to really work for my money - and I LOVE it! |

That said, source-identified could well apply to soy/soya itself, but in the form of feedstuffs manufactured from source-identified soy
