Fighting Hunger With Knowledge

Although the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina is the largest in the state, they can't feed everyone. Enter researchers Dr. Julie Simmons Ivy and Dr. Lauren Davis. They're engineers who realized that data could revolutionize how food banks operate. By mining through millions of records and translating the numbers into useful information, they helped the non-profit reduce food waste while maximizing the number of people they can reach. A great big story made in partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
