PepsiCo has launched a comprehensive long-term partnership with Soil Capital to promote regenerative agriculture practices among farmers within its European supply chain, with a specific focus on rapeseed oil production across the UK, France, and Belgium.

A landmark study by the European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture (EARA), funded by EIT Food, has demonstrated that regenerative farming practices can deliver high productivity while reducing environmental impact, offering a potential roadmap for the European agri-food sector.

Swedish start-up Volta Greentech has raised SEK 32 million (approx. $2.95 million) to advance the commercialisation of its Lome feed additive, a solution designed to reduce enteric methane emissions from cattle. This latest funding round brings the company’s total capital raised to nearly SEK 100 million (approx. $9.21 million), with major backing from Swedish food industry leaders Axel Johnson and KFS, which together control around 40% of Sweden’s food retail market.
