Do you want to help save the world? The GROW agri-hackathon is providing unprecedented access to comprehensive datasets for hackers to model and test their solutions to agriculture’s biggest challenges.

In 30-60 years we could lose all the fertile peat topsoil from East Anglia ¬ ‘the food basket of the UK’ – given current land management practices and a changing climate. To encourage new thinking Agri-Tech East is launching an agri-hackathon.
We ran our first Agri-Tech Hackathon early this year in partnership with Allia Serious Impact. It was an intensive weekend that resulted in some very exciting ideas emerging.
The winner of Agri-Tech East’s first hackathon was ‘WeedSpot’, which applies gaming technologies to artificial intelligence weed identification.
To accelerate innovation in the agri-food industry, Agri-Tech East has partnered with Allia Serious Impact to host their first hackathon in Cambridge on 7-8 April 2018.
The hackathon concept brings together technical experts around a key problem facing a business or sector to engage in a super-focused effort to come up with some answers.
So to speed up the ideas generation Agri-Tech East has teamed up with Allia Serious Impact to host a hackathon called >sudo : grow.
