The PepsiCo Foundation is planning to expand its Food For Good program, which aims to feed communities in need across the United States, to address hunger globally. According to a report by The Associated Press, Food For Good is hoping to feed 50 million people worldwide by 2030. “We had made so much progress,” Jon Banner, president of the PepsiCo Foundation and executive vice president of PepsiCo global communications, told The Associated Press, “but I think, in one year, the pandemic has set us back 15 years.”America is changing faster than ever! To make this happen, the PepsiCo Foundation pledged $100 million to fund food security initiatives and develop sustainable agriculture. The foundation has also pledged to allocate more money to aid the United Nations World Food Programme in obtaining more food for struggling communities in the Middle East and North Africa, where climate change is affecting their abilities to grow and secure food.
