THE ROLE
How can we sustainably feed the world? With the population set to reach nine billion by 2050 and available farmland decreasing, the odds are stacked against us. This problem falls squarely on the shoulders of farmers, who are increasingly working harder for less. FBN helps farmers to solve these problems.
Farmers are often forced to make key decisions in the face of significant uncertainty about their impact. FBN applies technology and data science to this challenge. We're building the world's largest agronomic dataset - made up of billions of data points, gathered from sophisticated sensors on farm equipment. The network effect of farmers sharing their data allows us to deliver unprecedented analyses that help farmers make data-driven decisions - we're not just building new technology, we're also making new agricultural scientific discoveries.
Data science underlies every product that we build at FBN, so you'll see your work directly translate into new products for our farmers. The Data Science Team at FBN:

Explores one of the world's most unique, interesting, and diverse datasets
Furthers scientific understanding about what affects agricultural production
Uncovers insights that help farmers efficiently support a growing population
Makes meaningful improvements in the world by translating data science into products that help farmers increase yield and efficiency
