This Student Originated Studies program is a continuation of the collaborative effort between agriculture and computer science students which began in the '24-'25 academic year. We will continue the work developed in the previous iterations of this SOS, with a variety of goals such as:
- Continue development of the task tracking system and its user interface;
- Continue development of the harvest data tracking system and its user interface;
- Create accessible communication and analysis of data collected;
- Research the feasibility of automated processes for water and greenhouse management;
- Experiment with options for automated in-ground moisture and nutrient sensing;
- Explore applications of the farm weather station and drone mapping data to agricultural management practices
SOS students will decide which goals to focus on and will be expected to work collaboratively with the Edible Campus and Edible Evergreen programs as needed in the development of these efforts. The output from this program will continue to serve the needs of students in farm related programs.
