Open source toolkit and methods for soil health monitoring

How are marginalized agricultural communities across the globe building their own infrastructure and adapting technology to their specific climates? Hosted by Shalini, this interactive session opens with a look at community-led resilience in rural India—from feminist farming practices to decentralized Wi-Fi mesh networks. Following the introduction, participants will choose their own adventure and break out into one of three simultaneous, hands-on workshops led by our international fellows. Whether you want to prototype solar-powered irrigation, master participatory soil testing and data tracking, or engage in grassroots design, this session offers a deep dive into practical, farmer-governed tools.
