Indra Nooyi – 2009 World Food Prize Symposium. part 1

Aligning of farming and nutrition goals to bridge the farm to family divide. A great challenge laid out by Indra Nooyi, CEO Pepsico today at World Food Prize Symposium.

Key take aways:
1. We need many hands to make it happen. Public/Private partnerships are mission critical

2. Small scale rural farmers must have access to resources (agro technology know-how, micro finance, markets)

3. People go hungry because we don’t have the alignment between supply and demand

4. We can and must make malnutrition history in our lifetime

5. Food is a basic human need

6. PepsiCo invests in and supports high yield based modern farming techniques

7. Distribution/logistics/supply chain has a pivotal role to play

8. Globally, PepsiCo reaches 1 million locations 3x per week
