It's a great day for the decarbonization of food production, as we announce our long-term partnership with PepsiCo in Europe. To tackle the climate crisis, we need a bold shift, one that involves all players in the food value chain. Together with PepsiCo Europe, we are demonstrating that this transformation is possible. We will support up to 1,000 farmers across Europe by supplying them with our premium fertilizers, including low-carbon footprint fertilizers produced from either renewable ammonia or ammonia produced with carbon capture and storage, as well as precision farming digital tools, and best-practice crop nutrition advice. This will help farmers increase nutrient use efficiency, boost yields and reduce the carbon footprint of their crops. Yara will deliver up to 165,000 tons of fertilizer per year to PepsiCo, covering around 25% of their crop fertilizer needs in Europe by 2030, reducing up to 80% of fertilizer production emissions and 20% reduction of in-field fertilizer emissions, while maintaining crop quality and yields. This partnership is a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration across the entire food value chain. I'm incredibly excited about partnering with a first mover like PepsiCo and the journey ahead.
