Experiential learning using games in Kenya

In an earlier blogpost, we shared how farmers in Kenya are creating nature-positive farms by aggregating their land. But farming cooperatively requires lots of trust, coordination, and rules. How is joint income distributed? What if some members contribute less? What if a member contributes a larger...

description In an earlier blogpost, we shared how farmers in Kenya are creating nature-positive farms by aggregating their land. But farming cooperatively requires lots of trust, coordination, and rules. How is joint income distributed? What if some members contribute less? What if a member contributes a larger piece of land to the farm? To better understand these issues, we developed a dynamic group game called SharedCropping, based on Netlogo. In this six-person game, players use electronic tablets that are linked to a host tablet through a local network. Players share access to arable land where they can farm, graze animals, and develop their own resources over several agricultural seasons.
