Agriculture consulting

• Apply the OVN model to network small local producers of agricultural goods. Increase volume and diversity for local needs by using

  1.  collaborative innovation, 

  2. mutualisation of production assets, 

  3. p2p coordination and distribution, 

  4. non-maket-based distribution using stigmergy instead of market signals

  5. web3 exchange, 

  6. token-based crowdfunding of production and acquisition of productive assets, 

  7. web3 co-ownership and governance of productive assets.

Use the pattern of the Trust Economy to integrate open communities of geneticists, nurseries and farms. This is a 4th Sector type initiative integrating open networks with traditional organizations. 

One aspect of this initiative is to provide the open networks of geneticists with economic tools, elevating them to economic agents contributing with innovation in the agricultural setting. As they become an economic force, providing locally resilient plants, they flip the agricultural paradigm up-side-down, as the bedrock of agriculture becomes an open network. 

This initiative is underdeveloped... If you found it and want to contribute, go ahead. If you are not a Sensorica affiliate, just ask to join the network.

Don't babysit your plants, we can make’m smarter!

What if plants call you when they need assistance, instead of you going to see them when they are probably doing just fine?

Reduce time spent on attending to your plants by using low cost automated systems. 

Yes, the plants can water themselves!

Get to the root problem, monitor soil conditions deep inside the soil.

Reduce the number of monthly visits to your plants by remote monitoring. The plant will tell you when it needs assistance! Plan your daily trips according to priorities. Save money and time and increase the number of contracts you can manage.

We can help you save time and money by designing monitoring and automation solutions for your plants, tailored to your needs.

Under construction... THIS IS A PLACE HOLDER FOR NOW... to be used by those who take initiative to develop these services. 

Let's create a team of self-driven individuals that share a passion for urban agriculture and open source technology, to put together a series of support initiatives, as part of the Sensorica community. 

Proposition: 

• Create an outreach strategy.

• Create promotional material.

• Go through all our ventures about food systems, find relevant information to use: projects, prototypes and kits that we have designed, to show people that at the Sensorica Montreal lab they can find all that, plus equipment, materials, a space, and passionate people to help them execute their own projects. 

• Contact people to come to the Sensorica lab to build their own urban gardening solutions. Invite them to interact with our community in the Fablab mode, with the possibility to convert to Sensorica affiliates. 

• List other support initiatives that the Sensorica lab can provide: technical support in electronics and software, 3D printing, etc. 

• We can approach organizations, post on Facebook groups, send emails to friends, etc. 

• Mention that we are also friends with P3Permaculture, talk about courses in permaculture, workshops, etc.
