The SAGE Community Coordinator: A Demonstration

Sustainable polyculture gardens thrive more effectively when they are designed with an awareness of other gardens in the community, as opposed to as individual gardens. However, the complex characteristics of plants, and their relations to other plant species in terms of needs and capacities, require a complex knowledge base not easily acquired by novice gardeners. We contribute a demonstration of our project, called the Software for Agricultural Ecosystems (SAGE) Community Coordinator, that helps manage the complexities of plant relationships and provides planting suggestions based on existing plants in adjacent garden sites. The research team collected the requirements and developed a preliminary demonstration of this system. This demonstration shows the feasibility of the idea and lays the foundation for a more comprehensive implementation of the SAGE Community Coordinator. By doing so, this paper explores the use of technology to foster the establishment of complex plant assemblages in urban and suburban areas to address the current and future limits of material resources derived from plants.

The Garden is an innovative farm in Canada's Pacific Southwest. It focuses on developing resource-efficient systems for greenhouse and orchard production. It applies regenerative practices for on-farm nutrient cycling. The farm operates a small-scale anaerobic digester, has extensive rainwater catchment, and assesses progress with on-farm analysis of soil and plants using Soil Food Web microscopy, brix, and off-farm leaf sap analysis.
