Build a Personal Food Computer
http://openag.media.mit.edu/build
Learn more about food computing! Build a Personal Food Computer. What does it take to build an OpenAg Personal Food Computer (PFC)? We have released our internal documentation and an inside look into our engineering process. A beta version of our software and hardware. Are also currently live and open source, and we encourage anyone who is interested to take a look behind the scenes of what it takes to create a PFC. As well as the user interface. Version 2 will be easier to build, use, and maintain, and ...

Open Source Communities
http://openag.media.mit.edu/open-source
Learn more about food computing! We live in the age of the network economy. Information, products, and services are created, shared, and economized through social networks that operate on both the local and global scales. The chassis of this new economy consists of massive computational infrastructures, the application of which has enhanced nearly every industry from medicine and real estate to retail and automobiles. In stark contrast, agricultural production is still constrained by industrial-era.
