Wazzup Pilipinas!?
A call to action
Hack4Food: Agriculture and Food Innovation Challenge 2022
aims to foster creativity and collaboration in solving the challenges facing
agriculture and food systems. The
agriculture and food value chain -- from production to distribution, and up to
consumption-- can substantially gain from clever imagination and novel
thinking.
The Philippines is home to an estimated 111
million people spread across its 7,641 islands.
Ensuring food sustainability and inclusivity for its growing population
is serious business. Achieving the
desired state of agriculture will require a lot of work from both the public
and private sectors. The youth of our country have a substantial stake in
propelling the developmental progress of agriculture as they will inherit all
its gifts and ills.
This one-week virtual hackathon challenges the
youth to step-up and make a positive impact in agriculture and food challenges.
It is open to all stakeholders passionate about the fate of the planet and its
inhabitants and committed to make a difference.
Hack4Food is brought to you by the Rotary Club
of Makati (RCM), in collaboration with Rotary Club of Bay, Rotaract Club of
Makati, and the Analytics Association of the Philippines (AAP).
