OpenAG: A Globally Distributed Network of Food Computing

Actionable Subgroup Discovery and Urban Farm Optimization

“…The concept of urban farms (see, e.g., AeroFarms, FUL, Infarm 1 ) could be part of a solution. It enables the growth of plants in fully controlled environments close to the place where consumers are [8]. Most of the crop protection chemical products can be removed while being able to optimize both the quantity and the quality of plants (e.g., improving the flavor [9] or their chemical proportions [20]).…”

Software of Places: Toward a Self-Learning Closed Plant Production System

“…The Food Computer (FC) is a term for an agricultural technology platform proposed by Caleb Harper [17] that creates a controlled environment using robotic control systems and actuated climate, energy, and plant sensing mechanisms. FCs are designed to optimize agricultural production by monitoring and forcing a desired climate inside of a growing chamber.…”

“…These fused multi-sensors points are coupled with machine learning to analyze a group of recipes to be able to recommend new recipes that can grow plants in a desired time range and desired morphologic and physiologic expression [17]. designed for owner/operators or franchisees to sell small amounts of high-value produce into local markets, restaurants, or cafeterias ( Figure 5).…”

“…In this thesis, the FC bill of materials was used as a baseline to choose the m-PFAL components. The Open Phenome Project was also an inspiration that demonstrate how important the dataset and machine learning models will be the fourth agricultural revolution [17], or farming 4.0.…”

Hydrobase

“…Most of these features can be adjusted using the sensors and chemical doses provided to the plants all through the research and experiment. [5] Now considering all the above mentioned features we can have multiple combinations of the features and any such useful combination can be thought to be a climate recipe. And each such recipe will produce different agricultural results for a given plant.…”
