Real, live smallholder farming data — not a survey, an actual working dataset.

Umlimisi farmers log real planting cycles, crop choices, activities and AI-assisted disease diagnoses every day. That data already exists — the question is what a responsible way to share it with you looks like.

What actually exists today

Two demo-grade aggregate feeds are already live: GET /partners/area-planted-summary (crop × region × month × area planted) and GET /partners/disease-report (AI-diagnosed pest/disease trends by crop, region and time window). Both are aggregated — no individual farmer is identifiable — and both draw from the same live data shown above.

What doesn't exist yet is a formal research access programme — ethics review, a data-sharing agreement, or self-serve dataset requests. That's a conversation, not a product, at this point.
