PepsiCo, Walmart Launch 7-Year $120M Initiative for Regenerative Agriculture in North America

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.

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
