This Friday, 10/14/2016  a team of 15 IBMer’s starts to travel to Rabat Morocco for our CSC assignment!  I will be working with,  Jessica O’Gorman, Venkat Umakanth and Kasutaka Nakao on Market Analysis for Agriculture Fertilizers with the Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science Innovation and Research (MASCiR, http://www.mascir.com/). #ibmcsc #ibmcscmorocco9

We will focus on economic and environmental factors.  First, a positive economic impact: Morocco, as a country heavily dependent on agriculture and suffering from more serious droughts these past 5 years due to global climate change, the smart use of fertilizers will reduce harm from the harmful effects of droughts. Second, a positive impact on the environment: the conventional fertilizers, which may damage soil and certain plants at different growth stages, can be replaced by innovative fertilizers, which will improve agronomic safety and will preserve soil quality and sustainability.
