Hi, I'm a developer with three year of experience. I am trained in Java/J2e but I am mostly a Javascript/Typescript lover <3 currently working in GIS, with ReactJS and LeafletJS
I dream of a software for managing farms, and any kind of food production spaces, so efficiently it would erase the needs for chemicals and land destruction.
A way to plan for the best crops for each part of a field, with GIS and data from captors. It would use data of the soil, the climate, the vegetation, to choose the most appropriate seeds. And would feed the software informations in real time of everything need to be done.
Maybe have a BIM model of the farm in real time, and robots and drones to manage it. That would allow for great quality of production, with great care of the land, without the ecological cost.
I'm the CTO of international video agency Wooshii and I run an educational media brand called Skill Pathway. I also occasionally chat to people on my podcast, The Learning Developers Podcast.
The environmental impact of farming currently is enormous on so many levels - and your idea genuinely doesn’t seem very far fetched.
We’re always going to need to farm I think and this thing will only become a reality in the coming decades as big data and computing power becomes more accessible.

Thanks for your reply
One of the challenging part is the large amount of technical aspects that I need to learn. I am working on a small app to use as a prototype, some king of gardening app that would use the basic of a bigger software. I would need data analysis, GIS server-side and mathematics, to complete what I know about front and back programming (in javascript mostly) and environmental science. The goal of the whole project being to allow anyone using to obtain knowledge and precision, and harvest more with less impacts
And the energy required would be a big challenge too. Because, why create a software with ecology theory in mind without thinking about the energy cost of that same software? probably I would love that software to be installed in a farm, working on renewable energy coming from the farm (like sun, water, wind, and bioenergy from manure, wood or compost)

I think your idea about starting small and scaling up is your best bet.
Maybe even listing the challenges out and building small modules that can eventually make up the larger one.
There are 100's of ways you an approach this and we'd always be happy to advise the best route if you list out in detail each challenge and what it involves. It seems everyone's starting businesses and personal ventures in the comment section of this post!

Thanks for the advice =)
And of course, you asked about the projects we would love to create. Wouldn't most people, in this forum particularly, want to build and help their own baby grow? especially if we are passionate about it?
In fact today's release of the latest IPCC report, on food security has just increased my motivation
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
