Common Farm Conventions
A Shared Language for Farm Records Data
Common Farm Conventions provide a shared language for farm records data, making it easier to exchange information, build interoperable tools, and improve data quality in agricultural production, research and management. Whether you need to integrate farm data into your application, manage data for a research project, or define standards for your organization, these conventions offer a flexible and powerful framework built on JSON Schema and the FarmOS data model.
