Organic Farming in the Palouse

The design of the smartFARM will encompass the built and natural environments at local, regional, and global scales.  It will influence policy and outline a new blueprint for the production and consumption of food, energy, and water by engaging social networks and sensored environments that respond and perhaps predict climatic and human occupancy changes.    It will be a smart environment from building to field, wired with ubiquitous control systems.  Yet, it will achieve a design simplicity  that realizes an environmental and economic efficiency over conventional methods.
