"This
is one of noblest event in hackathon ever staged. In constant
admiration to the Smart DevNet team and partners putting this together." - Diego Jose Ramos
The Bigas2Hack is the second Bigas Hackathon organized by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Smart Devnet. The hackathon seeks to develop technology that helps rice
farmers and rice researchers to contribute to poverty reduction and food
security.
The event was held again at the IRRI grounds in Laguna where several teams battled it out for the best rice-related program that can be very useful for IRRI and its goals.
"Bigas2Hack is the sequel to the 2012 BigasHack organized by IRRI and the
Smart Developer Network. The aim is to attract apps and web developers
from the Philippine developer community to the International Rice
Research Institute at Los Baños, Laguna to develop tech-based solutions
to agriculrural challenges. IRRI provides the venue, facilities, agri
challenges, SMART Devnet manages the hackathon. At the end of the hack,
teams are judged and winners will be chosen."
