The Philippines is known to be an agricultural country. Agriculture is therefore vital in the country’s growth and development. Thus, local government units such as Butuan City thrive to attract business investments and convene ideas for possible growth to boost the agricultural sector of the country.

With the help of data and technology, Butuan City wants to operationalize food businesses in its locality. The LGU, therefore, calls for the submission of entries or data-driven innovations through local hackathons that will address challenges in pursuing economic growth in the agricultural sector,  regulating standards to sustain food self-sufficiency, and meet the needs of its citizenry.
