Managing risk in the real world is central to Andrew McKenzie’s research and teaching program. As the Fryar Endowed Professor in Risk Management, Andrew investigates how to manage commodity price risk in the agricultural supply chain. Ultimately, adopting risk management tools helps improve efficiency across the entire system.

Along with solving puzzles on the research side, Andrew says that teaching students remains a key motivator and that he enjoys helping students understand risk management concepts.
