1 HACK4FARMING 2017 This year, Next Einstein Forum Africa will team up with EldoHub and KVDA to launch hack4farming, hackathon to yield ideas on how to use technology to provide solutions to challenges faced by farmers. The main aim is to bring this ideas to life. Background Uasin Gishu is known as the Home of Champions, as it is home to the largest number of athletics champions, the pride of Kenya. Apart from that, it is also a very agricultural county with most of the farmers being large scale farmers of grain products, dairy and horticulture. It is home to some of the largest industries in the agricultural sector such as Kenya Cooperative Creameries, Rupa Textile among other wheat and pyrethrum factories. The county also has major investments in the fields of Education, Health and Sports. The entrepreneurship spirit in this town is continually growing. However, most of the entrepreneurs are struggling to get their businesses in the limelight because they are not aware of the technological tools that exist. They are also not aware that the use of technology to promote their business is beneficial to their business. Project Objective 1. To help create a spirit of continuous growth and improvement among farmers through the use of technology tools. 2. To enable farming to increase job opportunities among the youth. 3. To bring together Students, farmers, businessmen and women from Uasin Gishu and its environs. 4. To create a networking environment where business men and women can exchange dbusiness ideas and possibly work together. 5. To bring the power of innovation to Uasin Gishu County and make farming attractive.
2 Project Description Hackathon: - This is an event to be hosted annually to bring together Technologists and other stakeholders to brainstorm and offer collaborative solutions to challenges affecting our society at large. They come to learn, create a good contact network, collaborate and share ideas. On the 30 th June 2017, during the Next Einstein Forum Africa EldoHub in collaboration with the Next Einstein Forum will bring together farmers, Technologists, Universities and other institutions to brainstorm and come up with solutions to solve challenges in Agriculture through Hack4Farmers hack-a-thon. This will be happening during the Next Einstein Forum Africa Science Week. Uasin Gishu County prides itself not only as a city of champions but also as an agricultural hub, the bread basket of the nation. Most of the farmers being large scale of grain products, dairy and horticultural farming. It is the source for many largest agricultural industries. Despite the county being an agricultural Hub, many farmers still lack enough information to enhance them do good farming practices. Furthermore, they lack access to financial support, access to market and insurance of their farming activities in case of external factors and uncertainties. It has therefore let farmers produce poor quality products and there is optimally low production. Our farmers still go to the market for an unknown customer to show up and buy their products, yet technology has provided us with access to data which we can use to reach target markets. Through the Hack4Farmers Hack-a-thon, we envision solutions that are technically feasible, socially responsible and entrepreneurially sustainable will be developed. The venue for this event will be Kenmosa Resort,Off Kaptagat Road, Eldoret Town.The aim of choosing this venue is to create a comfortable environment for networking, collaboration, learning and forums. We aim to partner with interested organizations with the same vision of increasing and promoting the use of technology to promote innovation in farming activities. Organizations may partner through handling some of the costs that will be associated with conducting the event.
