PepsiCo partners with fertiliser firm Yara on lower-carbon agriculture
The two firms are seeking a 40-60% reduction in GHG emissions from potato farms.
PepsiCo has launched a farming decarbonisation programme in South America with fertiliser company Yara, seeking to cut farming emissions by as much as 60%.
The programme will begin on 20 potato farms in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Argentina, covering around 700 hectares of production within PepsiCo’s potato supply chain. The farmers will be provided with Yara’s ammonia-based fertilisers, which are sold as lower-carbon solutions thanks to the use of clean energy or carbon capture and storage.
