Join on March 11, 2026 2 - 3pm EST (at the FarmOS Monthly call)
Call link: https://farmos.org/community/monthly-call/join
Walk through the FarmOS: Conservation Planner prototype developed by Mike Stenta with Erin Pearse and several CA RCDs, as well as a Market Feasibility Study, including competitor analysis, survey of TAPs and planners, and revenue models, conducted by Our Sci and Point Blue.
Our goal is to share the opportunity, get feedback/improvements on work done so far and brainstorm if and how the project could move forward.
Background
Point Blue, FarmOS, CalPoly Initiative for Climate Leadership and Resilience, Our Sci and the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District are designing a new, low cost, open-source software for Conservation Planning for both producers and planners. The software includes onboarding, conservation practice and resource planning, auto-generation of reports, report templating and will expand from there to monitoring, verification, additional planning activities, and beyond. We are in the prototype and discovery phase, collecting information about current software use and asking for your feedback. These tools are made to be used independently or alongside Conservation Desktop and similar existing software to create more efficient workflows. Most importantly, they are open source and designed by and for those who use them.
