Hack4Livestock For Nigerian Entrepreneurs, Startups and others (Up to N10 Million Prizes)
Join Hack4Livestock – a dynamic hackathon uniting innovators, technologists, and agricultural experts to solve Nigeria’s biggest livestock challenges through sustainable, tech-driven solutions.
Nigeria’s livestock sector plays a pivotal role in national development, contributing over 5% to GDP and supporting millions of livelihoods. Yet, it continues to grapple with serious issues—inefficient grazing, frequent conflict, disease outbreaks, limited market access, and poor infrastructure.
