Graduation project
A serious farming game
Siddharth Jartare
A video game introduces the daily challenges faced by modern farmers and the impact of different kinds of farming practices on the environment.
Can you picture a typical workday of a modern farmer? Probably not. We're unaware of the harsh realities faced by the farmers who provide the conveniences we so heavily rely on. Without realizing it, we overproduce poor quality food that degrades the soil, the water and the climate. Our beliefs and habits need to change, but that requires knowledge and awareness. 'A serious farming game' informs you of the benefits and disadvantages of different farming practices. Climate conditions, nutrients in the soil, crop types and their placements all impact the farm in unique and challenging ways. Luckily, a helpful Scarecrow will guide you through these challenges. You’ll learn how your dietary choices affect the farmer, their work and the environment, while having fun doing so.
