The involvement of prosumers in the form of agricultural community groups has been acknowledged, and interest in it is increasing due to local food demand and quality of food. How to create a prosumer group? The definition of agro-prosumers and analysis of their behaviour, engaging new members to the existing groups, managing members and their goals are important factors to consider. Hence, to overcome this barrier and to improve the participation of prosumers, in this paper three key frameworks are presented to develop an Agro-Prosumer Community Group (APCGs) platform.
A conceptual process that consist of strict multiple stages i.e., requirement analysis, design logic, theoretical fundamentals, implementation of prototype and verification, is used to build the frameworks for APCG. Different methods and approaches are used to design and develop framework's prototype. For instance, clustering algorithms are used to define and group agro-prosumer concept, an approach is developed that evaluates real-time production behaviour of new prosumers while engaging them to APCG. Finally, the goal-ranking techniques i.e., MCGP are used to build a goal management framework that effectively reaches a compromise between diverse goals of APCGs.
Results for each framework is shown while verifying the prototype using prosumers data.
An Agro-Prosumer Community Group addresses three key issues relevant to the development of an agro-prosumer community-based approach to manage the prosumers in local food- and carbon-sharing networks. The key contributions are (1) APCG concept, (2) Prosumer engagement framework, and (3) Goal management framework. Thus APCG platform provides a seamless structure for carbon and produce sharing network.
以农业社区团体形式存在的产消者参与已得到认可，由于当地粮食需求和食品质量，对此的关注度正在上升。如何创建一个产消者团体？农业产消者的定义及其行为分析、吸引新成员加入现有团体、管理成员及其目标是需要考虑的重要因素。因此，为了克服这一障碍并提高产消者的参与度，本文提出了三个关键框架来开发一个农业产消者社区团体（APCGs）平台。
一个由严格的多个阶段组成的概念过程，即需求分析、设计逻辑、理论基础、原型实现和验证，用于构建APCG的框架。使用不同的方法和途径来设计和开发框架的原型。例如，聚类算法用于定义和分组农业产消者概念，开发了一种方法来评估新产消者在加入APCG时的实时生产行为。最后，目标排序技术即MCGP用于构建一个目标管理框架，该框架能在APCG的不同目标之间有效达成妥协。
在使用产消者数据验证原型时展示了每个框架的结果。
一个农业产消者社区团体解决了与基于农业产消者社区的方法相关的三个关键问题，该方法用于管理当地粮食和碳共享网络中的产消者。关键贡献在于（1）APCG概念，（2）产消者参与框架，以及（3）目标管理框架。因此，APCG平台为碳和农产品共享网络提供了一个无缝结构
