The SAS Vision for Agtech
Why choose SAS® for agriculture analytics?

Optimization where it matters
As food production changes globally, the need to holistically approach planning and forecasting can turn great challenges into strategic opportunities.
SAS – rooted in agriculture
Born at North Carolina State University (NCSU), where the company's first project was analyzing crop yield data, SAS is partnering with NCSU and Microsoft to predict plant disease and tackle food recalls.
Crop science meets data science
SAS is partnering with Boragen, a world-leading boron-based discovery platform company, to use AI-powered research to protect crops and boost food production to keep pace with global population growth.

The Challenge for Agriculture
More efficient food production requires farmers and agriculture leaders to undergo a digital transformation, embracing AI, IoT, big data and analytic technologies to produce insights that enable sound, data-driven decisions. The power of SAS analytics works across the entire agriculture industry, and we can help you tackle problems ranging from yield optimization on the farm to supply chain optimization for consumer goods companies.

Look Who's Working Smarter With SAS®
Gavilon reduces workloads and operational costs by migrating to the SAS® Cloud on Azure.
"A comprehensive understanding of risk is critical for monitoring and managing our exposure during these very volatile times. To serve our stakeholders, we need to manage large volumes of data and risk calculations in real time, as well as adapt to new use cases over time. We've had a long collaborative partnership with SAS. To position ourselves for the future and reduce our workload and operational costs, we migrated to the SAS Cloud on Azure. It’s a no-brainer for Gavilon to make the switch – we are transitioning support, server upgrades and application monitoring to SAS, and we can take advantage of new features and enhancements in SAS Viya."
