The food security clock is ticking. The United Nations estimates that within the next three decades we will have to feed 2 billion more people. Many industries use math to improve logistics and streamline production; it is time agriculture stepped into the 21st century. Applying mathematics and engineering to develop precise agriculture practices is the key to future food production.
To feed a growing world greater efficiency is necessary to increase yields.
It is essential that agricultural practices are as effective and efficient as possible. Food production accounts for 70% off all freshwater consumption worldwide. Working within the agricultural industry, engineers and mathematicians can implement a data driven design for food production that increases yields and reduces the need for resources.
Within the next three decades we will have to feed 2 billion more people, according to United Nations population estimates. To put that figure into perspective, it is equivalent of feeding every single person who was alive in 1930—in addition to the entire planet full of people we already have today.

Key takeaways
- Math is one of the most invaluable resources we have in order to continue providing food to the people of this planet.
- Unfortunately, people who study math in school move on to be engineers or software developers and do not work in the field of agriculture but that is where they need to be.
- Math can help farmers know what to plant, where, when, how much and how to take care of their crops.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
