Russia-Ukraine war and global food security: What’s at stake?

Feedstuff365, March 16, 2022

The war in Ukraine is no longer just a story about a conflict between nations. It’s having an immediate impact on millions of people and creating multitudes of refugees, which in turn is creating a worldwide humanitarian crisis and exasperating global food insecurity.

Why Santa Claus Does Best When he Overestimates Demand

Parcel Magazine, December 18, 2024

During the holiday season, a late delivery can sometimes feel like the end of the world. You’ve been there: you order a highly anticipated gadget, new clothes, or a last-minute gift, only to find out that your delivery is delayed. While many blame shipping companies or delivery drivers, the true culprit often lies deeper in the supply chain — at the heart of it all: forecasting.
