Precision Agriculture

Open-Source Technologies for Precision Agriculture

OpenFarm: An open-source project that provides a database of plants and their growing conditions, helping farmers make informed decisions about crop management. ( https://openfarm.cc/ )

Uses AI to analyze plant data and provide recommendations for optimal growing conditions, helping farmers make data-driven decisions about crop management.

FarmBot: A project that combines open-source hardware and software to create an automated, precision farming robot that can plant, water, and weed crops. ( https://farm.bot/pages/open-source )

OpenPlantPathology: A community that values open data and computational tools for advancing epidemiology and pathogen population biology and ecology.

Growstuff: A platform for sharing and discovering open-source agricultural data, including crop records and gardening tips.

AgGateway’s ADAPT Toolkit: Provides tools to simplify communication between growers, their machines, and their partners, ensuring interoperability and data standardization.

Agstack: An open-source digital infrastructure for the agriculture ecosystem, offering APIs and tools for data integration and management.

ROS Agriculture: A community focusing on using the Robot Operating System (ROS) to empower farmers with robotics tools for tasks like weeding and harvesting.

PyETo: A Python package for calculating reference/potential evapotranspiration (ETo), useful for irrigation planning and water management.

Open Agriculture Initiative: A project by MIT Media Lab that aims to create an open-source ecosystem for urban agriculture, including tools for monitoring and managing crops.

Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI): Promotes the use of open-source seeds to ensure that plant breeders can freely use, share, and improve seeds
