Workshop slides

The full deck from both sessions. Useful for going back to the framing, and for passing on to someone who missed it.

Eight slides from the two-part workshop. Click any slide to open it at full size, or take the PDF at the bottom of the page.

Two of the six agenda topics, Language Calculator and Ethics, are covered in the field guide and on this site rather than in the slide files above. The token material from the language calculator section appears on the ecosystem slide, and the ethics questions are in What to expect.

  • Agenda slide: six workshop topics laid out along a timeline, from Intros to Open Source, over a photograph of a farm table with a laptop.
    Session one: the agenda. Six topics, from introductions to open source.
  • The AI ecosystem mapped into proprietary, open source and specialised groups, beside a panel explaining what a token is using the sentence goats build a better future.
    The ecosystem, and what a token actually is. Many models, many providers.
  • Agent frameworks, model interfaces, and tools and infrastructure, with a five-step path from idea to action and a list of reasons agents matter.
    Harnesses and agents. Models are the brains, harnesses make them useful.
  • Open source tools for agrifood grouped into six categories, including geospatial, data, farm management, AI, hardware and collaboration, with reasons open source matters alongside.
    Open source for agrifood. Proven tools, real communities.
  • Session two agenda: recap and overview, software development principles, the terminal and environments, and case examples and brainstorming.
    Session two: the agenda. From concepts to something you can build.
  • Planning, documentation and revision control explained in three columns, above the loop plan, build, test, document, iterate.
    Plan, document, iterate. Small cycles, better tools.
  • What a terminal is and what it is good for, a development environment compared with a production environment, and a five-step workflow from opening a terminal to monitoring.
    Using a terminal. Experiment in development, deliver in production.
  • Ten categories of things to build, from field and land tools to sustainability reporting, each with example tools listed alongside.
    What can you build? Ten kinds of work, with tools for each. Expanded on the ideas page.

Using the deck

The slides are designed for a live session, so they assume a person talking. On their own they are useful for the framing and for passing to a colleague. For the parts that need more than a slide, the pages on this site go further: the stack, the practice loop, checking the work, and what you could build.

About the workshop

Agrifood Vibe Coding ran as two sessions on the Future Herd Discord in partnership with the Agricultural Adaptation Council. The first session covered the ecosystem, tokens, open source, and agents. The second covered development practice, the terminal, environments, and practical projects. If you were there for one and not the other, both decks are above, and the Discord is where the group is still working through the material.
