The purpose of this document is to provide a high-level strategy for the development of the Farm Flow application, together with practical recommendations for how these strategies might be implemented, in order to achieve the desired outcomes of Farm Flow's various stakeholders. Runrig consulted with Fitzgerald Organics, Cloudburst Studio, and the 11th Hour Project to gather feedback and insights to their objectives. Aspects of business development, technical feasibility, ecosystem impact, user experience, and the overall design requirements have all been taken into consideration.
