CATONSVILLE, MD, September 5, 2017 – As the world’s population continues to grow, the role of analytics and operations research (O.R.) in developing effective new approaches to food production is becoming increasingly important. From more efficient distribution of water resources, to better management of meat and dairy production, to smarter crop cultivation, analytics is having a significant impact in the fight against global hunger.

This content is readily available to researchers, students, media, industry, and anyone else interested in learning more about the application of analytics and O.R. on agriculture.
Robin Lougee, Global Research Industry Lead of Consumer Products & Agriculture with the IBM TJ Watson Research Center, and Saurabh Bansal, Assistant Professor of Supply Chain Management with the Smeal College of Business at The Pennsylvania State University, serve as the volume editors for INFORMS Editor’s Cut: Feeding the World through Analytics, which is available at http://pubsonline.informs.org/editorscut/agribusiness.
