摘要: With natural resource scarcity, flattening yields, loss of biodiversity, changing climates, environmental degradation, and booming urban populations, the current food system is rapidly approaching its limit. What will define next agricultural revolution, how it impact shape global societies? This central research question Open Agriculture (OpenAG) Initiative at MIT Media Lab. The goal an alternative distributed farming based on new methods communication, sensing, data collection, automation that enable network effect advantages in generation production. department part a special issue pervasive food.
