PLANO, TX — PepsiCo Foods North America announced the launch of the Planting Pathways Initiative, a transformative course intended to expand agricultural opportunities.
Designed to provide more opportunities for young people to enter the agricultural sector, the initiative will begin with pilot programs created to build a more sustainable and equitable food system.
“I was born on a farm and am proud to work for PepsiCo, a company rooted in agriculture,” said Margaret Henry, VP, Sustainable & Regenerative Agriculture at PepsiCo. “I have immense respect for the growers and producers that form the backbone of our country. PepsiCo has a business stake and responsibility to help grow a resilient and impactful supply chain from the seeds in the field to the products on the shelf to the many people at home enjoying our products.”
The program includes long-term partnerships with nonprofit leaders in the agriculture space.
