Open Agriculture Foundation

Welcome to the OpenAgriculture Foundation. Here you will find information about the various software and hardware solutions that were created by OpenAg.

Data Sets

Over time, OpenAg created datasets through operation of various devices. Some of these datasets are preserved on GitHub, and you can read about them here.

Personal Food Computer resources

The latest version of the PFC edu (v4.0) is what is represented in various OpenAg GitHub repositories. You’ll find detailed information about the hardware and software repositories on the Personal Food Computer resources page. This would be the place to start if you wanted to build the v4.0 latest version of the PFC. It is also a great resource to learn about the software that was used, as well as the backend systems that were in place. There is even a link to a repository on how to host your own version of the backend without needing Google Cloud. One other bit of information that could be useful is some information on how OpenAg managed a fleet of PFCs by using Balena.io.

Archived Wiki

The content from the original OpenAg Wiki can be found as static pages. The original wiki files have been converted to static markdown and included on this site for archival purposes. This was a semi-automatic conversion from a snapshot of the wiki from April 8th, 2020. If there is content you can’t find please file an issue, or a pull request on this project. At the time of the snapshot, the latest version of the PFC had not be documented, so the wiki only includes up to the v3.0 PFC-EDU

OpenAg Forum

The OpenAg Forum, which contained much of the community conversation around the OpenAg project was a Discourse hosted site. After the foundation shutdown, we had to shut down the forum due to the reoccurring cost of running it. A backup was made of the site, and can be made available to someone willing to take over the responsibility and cost of hosting and running the forum. Create a GitHub issue on the repository for this page to start that conversation.
