# Agriculture Zero

For this course, we were asked to select a farm to analyze and reflect upon. Together with Lucretia and Auxence, we chose Cristina's farm. The farm’s production is entirely dedicated to providing fruits and vegetables for family and friends. Cristina employs permaculture techniques to prioritize soil conservation and sustainable practices. However, the farm faces several challenges, including pests, snails, water scarcity, and the occurrence of downy mildew affecting tomato crops. To address these issues, we decided to focus on the concepts of community and knowledge sharing. This led us to imagine an application that could act as a platform for exchanging advice, selling, buying, or bartering products. We envisioned incorporating various filters into the app to make it as functional and user-friendly as possible, catering to different needs. Additionally, we believe such a tool could be highly relevant for future generations and beneficial for beginners in farming. Another important aspect we considered is the idea of knowledge transport: finding ways to preserve and share the valuable expertise of farmers. These insights, accumulated through experience and rooted in tradition, hold immense value. By creating a tool that fosters the exchange of this expertise, we aim to empower small-scale farmers and build a stronger, more connected agricultural community.
