Sharing a Yield: RE for Regenerative Agriculture Research Vision

Paper i 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.
