🌍 July Community Call: Seeking a Second Presenter on Low-Cost Environmental or Agricultural Hardware

:earth_africa: July Community Call: Seeking a Second Presenter on Low-Cost Environmental or Agricultural Hardware

For our next GOSH Community Call, we’re excited to welcome Alex Carrillo (@AlexDeYucatan) on Thursday, July 10 at 22:00 UTC. Alejandro will be sharing his work developing open-source drones for crop health and pest detection in Yucatán.

We’re looking for a second presenter to join this session - ideally someone working on low-cost, replicable hardware applied to agriculture, environmental health, or public infrastructure. If you’re building tools that are practical, deployable, and locally impactful, we’d love to hear from you.

Relevant topics might include:

  • Air or water quality monitoring
  • Soil sensors or irrigation systems
  • Open-source weather or climate stations
  • Tools for tracking infrastructure use or condition
  • Marine or land-based ecosystem monitoring
  • Environmental data workflows that support public systems or services

If you’re working on a project that helps communities better understand or manage their environments through accessible hardware or if you have expertise in relevant areas, drop us a note or tag someone who should be part of the conversation!

Ni! Hi Jamaica,

Could be an opportunity to engage someone from the Atelier Paysan in France. Their R&D coordinator is Guillaume Delaunay.

They design tools to work the land, not to monitor the environment, but it could lead to an interesting discussion on the complementarity of approaches.

Cheers,

Hi Jamaica
Maybe the Open Agrooecology Lab is a good fit
