Campbell Soup Co. has donated $250,000 to the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at the University of California, Davis, according to a news release Monday.

The grant is the first to the institute since its founding last year with a $1.5 million gift from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. The institute was created to coordinate programs related to agricultural and food systems sustainability at the Davis campus and throughout the UC system.

Campbell has a long history in the Sacramento region. It runs a research facility in Davis that serves as the headquarters for the Campbell Seed Co., as well as a tomato processing plant in Dixon and a production facility in Sacramento that produces the company's soups, sauces, and beverages.
