PepsiCo has announced a $216 million multi-year investment in long-term, strategic partnership agreements with Practical Farmers of Iowa, Soil and Water Outcomes Fund, and the Illinois Corn Growers Association to support the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across the U.S. The strategic partnerships are expected to accelerate the uptake of regenerative practices on more than 3 million acres and deliver approximately 3 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emission reductions and removal by 2030.
PepsiCo will work with its partners to establish and scale financial, agronomic, and social programs that enable the transition to regenerative agriculture practices through education, upfront investment in outcomes, peer coaching and networking, and cost sharing. Based on progress to date, the collaborative efforts are expected to deliver more than 500,000 regenerative acres by the end of the year.
