The farm soil mapping tools are based on a series of cutting edge soil science papers. The methods within these papers, along with advice from top soil-science academics, feedback from 'in the field' agronomists and modern visual design thinking are packaged into a set of ‘processors’ that are used in various ways to create the 'tools'. These tools can be used to; recommend optimal sampling locations, create soil attribute maps, find areas of different soil constraints and produce meaningful images.
The fsm tools are built around Apache Spark for big data applications
The fsm-scala version of the tools is ideal for production to AgTech platforms. Being tested on the Farmlab platform, data processing has been tuned for maximum efficiency.

The fsm-python version of the tools is ideal for data-science. It provides an intuitive and flexible API allowing room for variation and innovation.
