Speculative Scenario

WHAT IF...

What if people in rural areas like towns and villages were taught digital manufacturing skills and technology applied to agriculture and country living as a subject ordered by the Ministry of Education so that they could, According to your needs, mix your knowledge in tradition? Agriculture and learned technologies, to build their own machines that help them in their daily tasks.

What if, among all the small farmers, they created different models of machines that they shared with each other, and were modular with each other, to put them at the service of all the farmers in their area? Machines with different functions and for different times of the season, but which can be adapted to different crops and thus be able to use them throughout the year.

What if, among all the peasants in the world, they could create machines that allowed them to feed databases on their knowledge and the behavior of their crops in the world, to gradually go to artificial intelligence that through a learning model could auto help them? Find the best conditions to grow everything according to your climatic conditions.

What if...

FARMING TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION

Education in accessible agricultural technologies was a compulsory subject in rural towns, to promote a responsable DIY technological agriculture and thus reduce migration of young peasents to urban areas?

DIY PHENOTYPING

Farmers could acces open source homemade phenotype machines, which helps them test among themselves the adaptability of their plants to new climatic conditions, according to climate prediction models?

LOWE SSP - Pilsen

DIY SEED ADAPTATION

Farmers could build DIY micro climate simulation machines that can force indoor weather conditions, to grow plants that resist more or less heat, light or water?

DIY MODULAR
ADDED VALUE MACHINES

Farmers could design and create modular machines that help them add value to their crops, turning them into other derived products that help them earn more income and reduce food waste in the world?

Imagine
a world where...

Small farmers around the globe have useful technological knowledge that they learn in school and that they can apply to their everyday farming procedures, including digital manufacturing and electronic knowledge that enables them to build DIY machines that can force the adaptation of seeds, do plant phenotyping to feed a database, feed artificial intelligence models for their benefit or build machines to give added value to their production?

RURAL
COOLNESS

HOW MIGHT WE...
make agriculture "cooler" so that small farmers and rural people continue to live there without moving to urban areas?

TECH
LITERACY

HOW MIGHT WE...
explain technology to the farmers in a way that they can mix it with their traditional knowledge to create new technologies?

DIY
TECHNOLOGY

HOW MIGHT WE...
put technology into smallholder farmer's hands so they can create DIY machines that bring more opportunities to their lives?

INTERCONNECTED FARMERS

HOW MIGHT WE...
interconnect farmer's knowledge locally and globally so they can be more resilient to market prices, technologies and climate change?
