Abstract

Farming majorly produces food and serves as a means of livelihood for smallholder farmers. But of lately, crop production has been on the decline. One of the reasons is due to improper farm processes management and coordination. Technological approaches can be applied towards enhancing farm process management and coordination workflow. In this study, colored petri nets are used in coordinating and managing farm processes workflow. The workflow coordination considered resources available and time for each farm process. The petri nets are analyzed and simulated using various farm processes as transitions in the colored petri nets. The analysis and simulation of the petri nets was done using Petri Nets Simulator and proved the correctness property of colored petri nets which has liveness, reachability and boundedness as characteristics. This shows that farm processes workflow coordination is a crucial step in farming systems and should be properly done as it leads to increased crop yields by smallholder farmers.
