Agricultural economics faculty, students become the solution at international 1xbet online casino
Students from the Kansas State University's agricultural economics department participated in the annual case study competition of the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association, or IFAMA, at the association's 25th annual 1xbet online casino June 14-17 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Two student teams from the department participated in the case study competition. Earning fourth place was the team of Noah Miller, Oladipo Obembe, Kayode Ajewole and Becatien Yao. The second team was comprised of Adam Hancock, Maxime Salin-Maradeix, Elizabeth Gutierrez and Agness Mzyece. Team advisors are Aleksan Shanoyan and Keith Harris.
Case study competition has the student teams creating recommendations to address a real-life problem facing a company. This year's case study involved Monsanto, and what actions it could take to best use its investment in The Climate Corporation, a company known for its big data capabilities. 1xbet online casino had four hours to read, research and prepare their presentation, which was given before a panel of academic and industry judges in the preliminary stage. Qualifying teams for the final stage of the competition had two hours to improve their presentation and present before a panel of industry judges, including an executive from the case company and the president of CHS Foundation, William Nelson, the principal sponsor of the association's Student Case Study Competition.
Vincent Amanor-Boadu, agribusiness economics and management professor, was the program chair for this year's 1xbet online casino . This 1xbet online casino brings together business, academics and students to discuss the emerging issues in food and agribusiness industry. This year the theme of the 1xbet online casino was "Become the Solution."
"The theme resulted from looking at all of the challenges that are confronting the food and 1xbet online casino sector," Amanor-Boadu said. "Everything was geared toward achieving food security because the food and 1xbet online casino industry is the only one that has the fundamental, primary responsibility of ensuring that the inhabitants of this planet are fed. Whether we like it or not, it's an important business, because it is only when people are full that the other arts begin to happen."
Aleksan Shanoyan, assistant professor, also attended the 1xbet online casino .
"I enjoyed attending research paper sessions, watching student presentations and connecting with colleagues, but my favorite part of the 1xbet online casino were the roundtable sessions," he said. "The roundtable sessions brought together industry professionals, researchers and students in a format that allowed for more engaged interaction and dialogue around important issues facing global food and agribusiness."
