PepsiCo and Walmart have joined forces in a $120 million, seven-year initiative aimed at fostering regenerative agriculture practices across over 2 million acres of North American farmland. This collaboration is set to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support local farming communities.

This groundbreaking initiative focuses on enhancing soil health and water quality. By implementing robust financial, agronomic, and social programs, the partnership aims to expedite the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across more than 2 million acres of farmland, resulting in an estimated reduction of 4 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. These emission reductions are equivalent to the energy needed to sustain 778,300 homes annually.
