This study investigates innovative agricultural practices carried out by experimental farms in the United States and Asia. These farms are unique because they are run by individuals who have transitioned from non-agricultural professions. They view farming as a research activity and focus on working with disadvantaged individuals to support their professional growth.

Participants in the study will engage in various farming activities and collaborate with researchers to analyze and develop these innovative practices. This study aims to explore how these practices can be supported and shared with a wider audience.

• Who can participate: Individuals involved in agricultural IT innovation, such as farmers, farm advocates, or members of relevant organizations like farm bureaus, can participate. Those involved in community activities as citizen scientists or activists are also eligible.
• Study details: Participants will be involved in farming activities and collaborate with researchers to explore and develop investigational practices. The study focuses on the professional development of disadvantaged individuals through these activities.
