Agromizer is a farm plotting tool that optimizes plant placement by using permaculture practices, while making the best use of available space. This software is in a very early stage but is slowly being developed to fulfill agronomists, farmers, and educators needs.
If you have any feature requests or would like to make use of Agromizer but you don't know how, feel free to contact us through the Issues page.

- Move to the
backendfolder by runningcd backendon the terminal. - Install Node dependencies by running
npm installon the terminal. - Start Agromizer by running
sails lifton the terminal. - On a web browser, such as Firefox, go to the following address:
localhost:1337. - Read
/backend/config/routes.jsfor a list of pages and routes that compose Agromizer. (E.g.localhost:1337,localhost:1337/map)
Agromizer is written in NodeJS using SailsJS for the backend, and Bootstrap, JQuery, and Konva for the frontend. It is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
At the time of writing, the code has a small plant database, a simple web interface and a plotter that places plant representations in 2D space.
Agromizer was co-authored by Javier Cordero, Arlene López, and Stefano Encarnación as part of the Agrohack Convention hackathon by Cobian Media.
