How can you benefit from the Farm Assistantbeta
From maximising your yield to streamlining your agricultural operations, Farm Assistant helps you understand, track and manage your soil health
Plan crop rotations faster
Create a clear rotation recipe without relying on guesswork or time-consuming tools.
Maintain soil fertility
Use crop sequences specifically adapted to your needs, crops and location, supporting long-term soil health.
Stabilise your yields
Reduce variability with balanced crop rotations
Reduce your fertiliser costs
Improve your nitrogen balance through targeted crop rotations and avoid unnecessary and costly treatments.
Manage your crop history
Easily access your full crop rotation history for each field, in one place.
Improving soil health
Through intelligent crop management, the app helps improve humus formation and nitrogen fixation and remove CO2 stored in biomass.

FAQ
The betterSoil Farm Assistant is a web-app is a decision-support tool that combines satellite-derived soil data, agronomic knowledge and field-level information to support soil health assessment and crop planning.
The Farm Assistant is designed for food processors, manufacturers, agronomists and agricultural advisors who support farmers in agricultural supply chains.
Agronomists and advisors can use the Farm Assistant to assess soil fertility, understand field-level variability, support crop planning discussions and provide data-driven recommendations to farmers in their supply chain.
The Soil Fertility Map visualises spatial differences within a field using satellite data. It helps identify fertility patterns, field variability and areas that may require more targeted management.
No. The Soil Fertility Map can be used across different crops, fields and farming systems because it analyses the condition and variability of the field itself.
A recipe is a crop rotation recommendation; a multi-year suggested crop sequence based on field conditions, climate patterns, agronomic logic and user-defined goals.
Currently the recipe is available for 1-, 2-or 3-year plans.
At the current beta stage, the crop rotation recommendation focuses on potato-based cropping systems, because potatoes are highly sensitive to soil structure, nutrient balance, disease pressure and crop rotation design.
The Crop Rotation Simulator is a gamified interactive tool that will allow users to test and compare different crop rotation scenarios and understand their potential effect on soil health and economic performance.
The Farm Assistant app is currently in the beta rollout phase. betterSoil is now looking for pilot partners to test and grow the application with us in real agricultural and supply-chain contexts.
