Climate-smart agriculture
PepsiCo has partnered with AgMission to award Charles Sturt University an international grant worth $2.1 million over three years to fast-track climate-smart agriculture.
The grant will contribute to research by the University’s Cool Soil Initiative which collaborates with famers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil health through a scientifically credible and globally recognised framework. The funding will also enable the Initiative to expand in to new regions and commodities, including oats. In Australia PepsiCo sources more than 100 million kilograms of oats from Western Australia for export to Asia.
