Crop Picker helps farmers, researchers, and buyers explore alternative or underutilized crops for a given region. Each crop is scored across five snowflake axes (market fit, climate fit, infrastructure fit, financial return, risk profile) out of 30 total. Users can:
Every data point in the catalog carries a source citation and appears in an append-only audit log โ a core design principle of the platform.
Crop Picker is a focused spinoff project that will integrate into the wider Every.Farm ecosystem. Today it runs independently at its own domain with its own Supabase project. The farm_* tables (see Data Model & Schema) are scaffolded for future user-owned data that will sync with Every.Farm's authenticated farmer profiles.
See Integration with Every.Farm for the planned merger path.
