How we choose: As a community we decide together on focus areas that address critical challenges in agriculture — field relevance & practical impact, interoperability & reuse, and stewardship & long-term maintenance.
OpenTEAM (Open Technology Ecosystem for Agroecological Management) works with diverse agriculture communities, technologists, and aligned organizations to collaboratively generate, share, and sustain agricultural knowledge to enable climate resilience, food system equity, and land stewardship for future generations. Together, we advance open agricultural technologies and data systems that are transparent, equitable, and regenerative.
Our Work
OpenTEAM is a collaborative community building open, farmer-led technology for regenerative agriculture.
- Agriculture is a shared human endeavor
- Agriculture is a public science
- A shared urgency exists to take climate action
- Knowledge is collaborative
- Free and open exchange of ideas
- Agroecology depends upon healthy social communities
Everything we do falls into three modes of work:
We host community calls, working groups, and an In-Depths video series that makes the work of regenerative agricultural technology accessible — stories, primers, and glossary updates from across the ecosystem.
Watch the In-Depths library ↗Structured collaborations — collabathons and working groups — that map actors, develop shared needs assessments, and pressure-test ideas across communities, producing reusable outputs and shared infrastructure.
See current projects ↗Ethical technical infrastructure and practical governance patterns that provide farmers and communities with genuine choice — open standards, interoperability, and durable knowledge systems not locked to any single vendor.
See aligned tools and communities ↗Facilitate — Projects & Collabathons
Where community priorities become shared projects—testing workflows, developing templates, and publishing reusable outputs. (see

Collaborators — Highlighting Aligned Work
These tools, communities, and platforms are not formal OpenTEAM projects — they are external efforts aligned with our values that we celebrate and learn from. They reflect the broader ecosystem OpenTEAM is part of, not outputs we steward directly.
