| Abstract: | The issue of emissions and pollution in agriculture has been picked up by multiple organization. Some of the organizations believe that Regenerative Agriculture(RA) could alleviate some of the issues. Regenerative agriculture is a somewhat open term, but in wide strokes it is a holistic approach that aims for a healthier soil and ecosystem on and around farms. This thesis tried to create a solution to display progress of RA initiative in a flexible and farmer-oriented way. This has been accomplished through researching what the farmers need to know and integrating it into a web-based map visualization. The visualization has flexible way of categorizing farmers into organization-specific categories also called milestones, this addresses the open definition of regenerative agriculture. While the research created a working prototype, the user experience of such an approach needs to be investigated and improved further. The results of the 4-person test, that collected observations and feedback, also show this. Aside from usability issues, it also highlighted the need for documenting interactions and a more long-term test. Nevertheless, the core concept shows promise as after getting through the prototype the first time, the users seem to be positive on the continuous use of the prototype. |
