Positive Value Chain: Agriculture

The PepsiCo Supplier Sustainability Journey

The Challenge

Agriculture is core to PepsiCo's business. We source more than 30 agricultural crops and ingredients - such as potatoes, corn and oats - from approximately 60 countries. Creating a more resilient, sustainable agricultural system helps to protect our continued business growth from disruption due to climate change, water scarcity, and other environmental and social risks. It also enhances the lives of agricultural workers and their communities.

Our Goals

We’re working to source our crops & ingredients in ways that restore the earth and strengthen farming communities.

We’re working to spread regenerative practices that restore the earth across seven million acres of land by 2030 — an area approximately equal to our entire agricultural footprint. We continue to expand a global network of demonstration farms, with more than 350 farms as of 2020, to help farmers adopt these practices.

We’re aiming to sustainably source 100% of our key crops and ingredients by 2030 — not only direct-sourced crops like potatoes and oats, but also key crops from third parties such as vegetable oils and grains
