National Geographic Society and PepsiCo launch Food for Tomorrow program

In September, the National Geographic Society and PepsiCo announced the Food for Tomorrow program, a collaboration to inspire positive change throughout the global food system, with a focus on regenerative agriculture.

Food for Tomorrow will raise awareness around regenerative agriculture’s positive impact on farmers, our food system, and our planet, while empowering people to make more sustainable food choices.

The program will support National Geographic Explorer-driven stories and scientists diving into the future of food through breathtaking imagery, moving narratives, applied science-based projects, and data visualization maps.

PepsiCo collaborated with National Geographic CreativeWorks to develop three short films to capture firsthand how farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture. Five National Geographic Explorers will feature stories about real people, farmers, and communities to spotlight sustainable and regenerative practices in food production.

It will also fund “Building Resilience in Agriculture,” a grant program that will award up to five scientific grants to innovative project proposals that focus on finding farming solutions that scale regenerative agricultural practices around the world.

Jill Tiefenthaler, CEO of the National Geographic Society, said, “In collaboration with PepsiCo, we’re investing in bold solutions and the farmers, scientists, and storytellers leading this essential work. We’re proud to fuel a global movement, rooted in science and hope, to help build a thriving future for generations to come.”
