We are building a simulation of agriculture in southern Ontario for policy makers and the lay public alike to be able to edit to invent and investigate hypotheses. Our perspective on the problem is holistic: we see agriculture as simultaneously economic, ecological, cultural and as involving both urban humans, rural humans, and animal life, and we think that anything less than modelling all aspects of the world will miss critical decision boundaries.

Check out our gameplan:

• Architecture
• Explaining Ourselves
• Modelling
• Datasets
• Visualizations
• Statistics

Get hacking, meditate on our Philosophy or add to our References.

There are very disorganized notes scattered on these shared docs which should be read, digested, and then merged into this wiki or tossed http://piratepad.net/xQTNPECqcj http://piratepad.net/uud1vW5W5e

Our allies,

• SiG@UWaterloo
• The UW Games Institute
• MaRS
• The McConnell Foundation
• WICI

and some of our inspiration

• School of Data

When we want to get off github, know that this wiki itself is simply a git repo with URL https://github.com/majdal/modex.wiki.git and the issue tracker can be extracted with the REST API (this ruby project is a one-click export solution).
