Farming

PepsiCo believes sustainable farming is the only way to grow.

The future of our business and so many others across the world depends on healthy farmland and quality produce. The only way to protect this resource for the future is by working in partnership with farmers to create sustainable agriculture.

Partners in farming

In the UK we rely on the high quality oats, apples and potatoes produced at over 350 farms to make our great tasting products. Walkers Crisps, Copella Apple Juice and Quaker Oats are all made from British produce from British farms.

For over 25 years we've been investing in the future of UK farms and farmers. The long standing relationships we have developed with our growers mean that we have an interest in their success, as they do in ours. It also means that we can develop new and sustainable ways of farming by working together.

We want to make sure that UK farmland remains productive for future generations of farmers. That's why we are aiming for '50 in 5' – to reduce our water use and carbon emissions by 50% in five years. Farming innovations like i-crop™ will help us meet our ambitious targets.

Driver for change

If we're going to help change UK agriculture in the long term we have to look beyond the farms we work with. Across the country we're working with many other companies and organisations to develop sustainable agriculture and champion change.
