Regenerative agriculture is re-emerging and growing in importance as one of the sustainability solutions to rebalance the ecosystem while achieving business goals. Regenerative agriculture could not compete against the cost efficiency and productivity that mono-agriculture brought. Some of the challenges in adopting regenerative agriculture practices are tied to cost and efficiency (time to achieve yield versus soil improvement). Others are related to knowing who and how to collaborate with, and what to collaborate on. Collaboration and partnerships across the producers, manufacturers, governments, and people are so important to help make impactful changes. It is helpful to have platforms like #PepsiCoPositive #GreenhouseAccelerator where people can come together to bring problems to the surface, consider available solutions and resources, and ideate for new possibilities!

The magic of moderate drinking means that we can enjoy every occasion, it's about staying in control while not compromising on the fun.

This is a core pillar of Diageo’s 10-year sustainability plan, Society 2030: Spirit of Progress, which includes an ambition to reach one billion people with messages of moderation by 2030.
