Sharing a Yield: RE for Regenerative Agriculture Research Vision
Paper in proceeding, 2025

In the face of declining food quality due to unsustainable farming practices, we have an opportunity to shift paradigms towards regenerative agriculture from an individual to a global scale. Regenerative agriculture is not yet present as an application domain in requirements engineering research. We open the discussion with an agroecology case (food forest design) that offers a perspective of how our natural environment has significant influence on potential yield and, consequently, on a supporting system’s design. This requires specific attention to domain modeling and requirements engineering. We contribute a clarification of terminology, a research roadmap, and the sketch of a pilot. They serve as foundation for a larger body of work.
