What it is Derived, awaiting review

This meta-model describes farming as an activity: holdings and their fields, crops grown by season, operations applied to them, harvests gathered, and livestock kept, cared for and yielding produce.

Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.

Why it exists Filled

Farms, crops, livestock, seasons, harvest

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • It is its own model because farming runs on biological and seasonal rhythms that generic production (K8) does not capture: a season is not a production run, a herd is not a batch, and land, weather and animal life cycles shape every record.

What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog

Owners Filled

Steward

The farming organization or person holding the farm owns its records; animal identification may additionally answer to a public registrar.

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Incomplete

Identity and identifiers required Derived, awaiting review

  • field: a managed area of land; key attributes: identifier, area, soil class, parcel references
  • animal: an individually identified animal; key attributes: identifier, species, breed, birth date, status

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Not applicable

Institutional or informational subject: no invented physical properties.

Recognition optional Missing, in the backlog

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • sowingCompleted: a crop season was established on a field
  • treatmentApplied: an input or intervention was applied to a crop or field
  • harvestGathered: produce was collected into a harvest lot
  • animalRegistered: an animal entered identification records
  • animalMoved: an animal or herd changed farm or field
  • produceCollected: a recurring animal yield was gathered and measured
  • seasonClosed: a crop season ended with its harvest accounted

Legacy events listed as state transitions.

Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review

  • traceabilityDisclosure: a buyer or food chain partner traces a lot back to field, season and operations
  • statisticalReturn: the holding reports areas, yields and herd sizes to a statistics office per cadence
  • agronomicDataSharing: field and operation data are shared with an adviser or research party under the holder's terms
  • cropCalendar: seasons and operations on a time axis per field; omits produce buyers and prices
  • holdingRegisterView: the farm, fields and herds as a registry entry; omits operational detail
  • provenancePassport: origin, operations and grades of a lot for its buyer; omits the rest of the holding

Context of use required Filled

  • Access is granted by the holder via the catalogue's ownership and access models (S1/S2), with audit via S4.
