Future Farm Lab
Farming meets the future.
An interactive, browser-based 3D simulation that turns regenerative agriculture research into hands-on learning—on desktop, mobile, VR, and AR
What is Future Farm Lab?
Future Farm Lab is EIT Food Education’s immersive 3D simulation for learning regenerative agriculture at scale. Built with MetaChef, it bridges research and practice so farmers, students, and professionals can test decisions, see consequences, and build skills—without leaving the field.
Why it matters
- Applied & experiential: Make decisions, observe soil, biodiversity, water and profitability outcomes.
- Accessible: 100% web-based; no install; low-bandwidth and multilingual options.
- Scalable: From a single classroom to enterprise training and EU projects.
What’s inside
Futures Narrative
Explore long-term choices and trade-offs across soil health, biodiversity, water and emissions.
How-it-Works Mode
Short, clear explanations of core regenerative principles and cause-effect dynamics.
Micro-missions
Solve real problems from EU farm contexts (e.g., climate extremes in Southern Spain; soil restoration in France; input reduction in Poland).
Works on desktop, mobile, VR and AR. Browser-based—no installation required.
