Augment the data model and UI to support any gaps in the necessary inputs for generating a HOLOS output | ||
Build HOLOS model | As a FO / FM I want to be able to generate an estimate of my green house gas emissions (GHG) and changes in soil carbon (IC) so that I can understand the sustainability of my farm | HOLOS is primarily a Canadian research tool. The current vision is that we would code the HOLOS model into LiteFarm and that it would be the lowest barrier, back of the envelop choice for understanding on farm GHG and IC. |

Integrate with COMET-Farm | ||
Augment the data model and UI to support any gaps in the necessary inputs for generating a CFT output | ||
Integrate with Cool Farm Tool |
Things to be investigated
Question | Answer | Notes |
---|---|---|
Which of our users will benefit most greatly from generating GHG estimations for their farms? | This can be an input into which tools we support / integrate with. | |
Should we be charging for the ability to generate GHG emissions if a farmer will realize a monetary benefit from doing so? | We would probably need to provide a seamless service where the user just agreed to pushing the data and we would handle the remainder of the transaction and take a cut. Alternatively, we could just inform farmers of programs in the regions that would pay them for their reports. In this case we could build a “Tip LiteFarm” link for them to share the wealth. | |
Which of these tools should we use to estimate on farm GHG emission estimates? | Each has a geographic footprint:
So the answer may be more than one. | |
Does it make more sense to build and maintain a Switchboard connector to integrate with COMET farm tool and Cool Farm Tool or to create direct integrations? |
