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
