Bumper Crop

Bumper Crop is a social impact game created in both digital and physical platforms based on the experiences and challenges of being a small holding farmer in India. This digital beta version is published and available for free download on Google Playstore. The game was created by a team of UK/India academic researchers and
practitioners led by Dr. Misha Myers of Falmouth University and the
digital game prototype was developed with Dave Griffiths of FoAM Kernow.
The team worked in partnership to develop the game with the New
Delhi-based non-profit organisation Digital Green as part of the Arts
Humanities Research Council research project 'Play to Grow: Augmenting
Agriculture with Social Impact Games'. This project explored and tested
the use of computer games as a method of storytelling and learning to
engage urban users in complexities of rural development, agricultural
practices and issues facing farmers in India. The game was developed through a participatory co-design methodology involving small-holding farmers and village mediators in Madhya Pradesh.

The development of the game was undertaken through partnership between Falmouth University and Digital Green and according to each organisation's policies and procedures, which cover research ethics,
confidentiality and public safety. Informed consent was
secured from participants and their
confidentiality/ anonymity has been protected.
