About us
Who we are
We're the LiteFarm data team at the University of British Columbia. We build and maintain this dashboard, the analytics layer on top of the open-source LiteFarm platform, bringing together data from farms worldwide so farmers, researchers, and partners can explore the trends behind sustainable agriculture.

Fresh data, every night
A copy of the LiteFarm database is synced to a read-only analytics replica on a nightly schedule and cleaned, so the numbers here track recent farm activity without ever touching the production system.
