>sudo : grow hackathon announced

Innovation comes from solving a problem in a new way and a fresh perspective often helps. There are some big challenges facing the agri-food industry and traditionally innovation in this sector takes time to come to fruition.
So to speed up the ideas generation Agri-TechE has teamed up with Allia Serious Impact to host a hackathon called >sudo : grow.
This event will run this year instead of the GROW agri-tech business plan competition which has successfully identified a number of promising early stage businesses.
There is much work to be done to turn the output of a hackathon into a business idea but several early stage agri-tech companies, such as Entomics which is using black soldier flies to produce protein and POM which is encouraging natural pollinators, have grown out of student challenges.
