Where possible, integrate with PES providers to make the process seamless
Where impossible, export relevant data to make the process easier
Record all the data you need for your certification (Organic or otherwise)

Where possible, integrate

with certifiers to make the process seamless
Where impossible, export relevant data to make the process easier

as possible to satisfy #1 and suggest best approaches to farmers
Outsource the heavy lifting / modelling / calculations to other software services dedicated to that domain (e.g.
...
LandPKS for soil health
...
Format / transmit data to certifiers to help farmers achieve certifications
