Louis Dreyfus Company and PepsiCo Announce Regenerative Agriculture Program to Advance More Sustainable Farming in Canada
Wilton, Connecticut, US, May 13, 2026 – Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) is joining forces with PepsiCo on a regenerative agriculture program in Saskatchewan, Canada – a global leader in canola production and a key sourcing region for LDC ingredients used in PepsiCo products across the US and Canada.
The program aims to support farmers across the province in adopting regenerative and restorative agriculture practices that are intended to support soil health and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and help protect local ecosystems. As part of training delivered through the Canadian Prairies Trusted Advisor Partnership (TAP), program participants can seek out TAP advisors with practical, science-based guidance to help scale regenerative agriculture practices.
In 2025, the program supported 16 farmers across 25,000 acres, producing approximately 26,000 tons of canola grown using regenerative agriculture practices consistent with the program framework. The goal of the program in 2026 is to help drive regenerative and restorative practices across 45,000 acres. Program results will be measured using the Cool Farm Tool, which provides standardized metrics to estimate and track indicators such as farm-level emissions and biodiversity. This data-led approach is intended to help farmers monitor and quantify changes in key indicators and refine strategies over time.
“With climate challenges affecting crops and farmer livelihoods, the long-term resilience of food and agricultural supply chains requires a transition to more sustainable practices at farm level,” said Paul Hrycyk, Regenerative Agriculture Project Manager at LDC. “Our program with PepsiCo reflects our shared focus on supporting regenerative agriculture practices through this collaboration, and our belief that joint investment and actions are essential to scale and accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices. Together, we aim to contribute to more resilient farming systems that help to conserve ecosystems and natural resources, while fostering climate resilience and prosperity for farming communities.”
“PepsiCo is rooted in agriculture, and farmers are central to the food systems we depend on. By working closely with farmers to understand what works best for their operations, we can help promote the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices that can support soil health and strengthen resilience on the farm. This approach is intended to support productivity and stability for growers while helping sustain the natural resources the industry relies on. When farmers thrive, we all thrive.” said Margaret Henry, VP, Sustainable and Regenerative Agriculture at PepsiCo.
