As I was doing my daily evening workout, I realized that I had not explained in my blog the importance of the fertilizer project my three IBM teammates and I are consulting on with MASciR (Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Science Innovation and Research).  The graph below on the left is a page from the report that we have developed.  By 2050 the world population will be almost 10 billion people and we will need an ~ 69% in food calorie production to feed our planet.  The region of the world where most of this increase came come from is sub-Saharan Africa in the areas of increase crop yields (top right) and increased acreage for crop production (bottom right).  The four of us from IBM are focusing on enabling MASciR to develop novel fertilizer techniques combined cognitive agriculture to positively impact these trends for the continent. It is a good example of how IBM Corporate Service gives back to the world that we serve.  @ibmcsc #ibmcsc #cscmorocco9
