PepsiCo Nebraska Sustainable Sourcing for High Fructose Corn Supply Chain and Climate Smart Project

A project to make progress in reducing absolute greenhouse gas emissions in PepsiCo’s value chain by 20% by 2030. The project partners with local farmers to deliver sustainable growth and positive impact through partnerships, education programs and best practice sharing. In this project, PepsiCo and Cargill are working with a local NGO on a sustainable sourcing program that involves recruiting farmers who sell corn to Cargill at Cargill’s facility in Blair, Nebraska to plant cover crops on any cropland.

Engagement Targets

Notes: (1) Minor fluctuations in the number of retained growers is expected from year to year. These fluctuations may be due to year-over-year crop rotation effects or other factors beyond the control of the project. Enrolled acres represent the total number of acres on an individual farm in a specific year. The ability to report enrolled acres is based on the Fieldprint Project Standard requirement that individual growers enrolled in projects enter at least 10% of the acres managed for a specific crop. (2) Entered acres represent the actual number of enrolled acres for which data is entered in the Fieldprint Platform for analysis.
