Farmers planning what to plant across seasons
Worth noticing
A five-position slider lets farmers weigh income against soil and water health; calculations run on volunteer computers.

Field notes

After a farmer marks a field, the page says NASA and other public datasets supply local climate, soil, water, terrain, and vegetation-history inputs for the model. Requests can run for minutes to hours on volunteer computers, with results delivered in the app and optionally by push notification or confirmed email. The farmer’s answers are optional, and the priority slider ranges from “More income” to “More soil and water.”
