This proposal envisions an agent-based ecological simulation where human and non-human actors, farmers, water, soil, plants, fungi, and climate, interact within a shared bioregion defined by watersheds rather than political borders. Agricultural technicians serve as mediators between data and local knowledge. Agents are not merely data points but active participants in a living network, continuously shaping and responding to one another. The model doesn’t tell farmers what to do,it shows them which relationships are causing certain output. This is s space for dialogue, opening possibilities for cooperation, collective decision-making, and more resilient multispecies futures.
Indicators such as vegetation cover, water retention, temperature, shade, and soil vitality are not merely data points but active participants in a living network, continuously shaping and responding to one another.
The simulation becomes a space for dialogue among agents, opening possibilities for cooperation, uncertainty-driven research, and more resilient multispecies futures.
