NEW TECH FOODS

PepsiCo has initiated a long-term partnership with Soil Capital to promote regenerative agriculture practices among farmers in its European supply chain, specifically targeting rapeseed oil production in the UK, France and Belgium.

Miranda Stahn, New Harvest’s programme manager for Western Canada, and Yadira Tejeda Saldana, the organisation’s Canadian director of responsible research and innovation, explain how CAPE plans to help farmers create new income streams, make better use of agricultural sidestreams and build a strong, sustainable food innovation hub in the Prairies.

A new study launched by the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture (EARA), funded by EIT Food, has found that farmers can produce ‘significantly more food for less’ by transitioning to regenerative practices.
