The farmer knows the field.
Location, crop choices, previous seasons, water access, resources and observations begin the conversation.
Starting in Kayonza, Rwanda
Your land knows a story.Let’s understand what comes next.
Every farmer faces different decisions. CropSuite begins with what you know about your field and the crops you want to grow, and explores how NASA Earth data could inform your next planting season.

It starts with you
Before we suggest a crop, we listen.
A farmer may be choosing between maize and beans, depending on rainfall, or planning around a harvest deadline. Every field and every family has its own story.
CropSuite starts by asking what you know. Your experience provides local detail that regional data cannot capture.

Farmer knowledge
Where is your farm?
Your location helps identify the regional information that may be relevant.

Our starting point
Why Kayonza?
We’re beginning in Kayonza, in Rwanda’s Eastern Province, where rainfall varies across seasons and locations. For farmers who depend on rain, choosing when and what to plant can involve difficult trade-offs.
CropSuite explores how local farming knowledge and regional Earth data can support more informed decisions.
Research behind this pilot ↗Kayonza is our pilot. Individual field conditions can still differ from regional estimates.

Knowledge from field to sky
A better view of your field begins beyond your field.
NASA provides historical climate information that can help us examine rainfall and temperature patterns across growing periods. CropSuite brings that wider picture together with crop information and what the farmer tells us.
NASA provides the wider climate picture.
Historical rainfall and temperature estimates can help reveal patterns across growing periods, including dry spells and heat exposure.

Agricultural models help us understand crop possibilities.
FAO GAEZ assesses modeled crop suitability under particular climate, soil, water and management conditions. It is a separate agricultural model.
Your knowledge + Earth data + crop science = a more informed planting plan.
Climate and suitability assessments are not connected in this demo. The farmer remains the decision-maker.

Sources and limitations
Built on evidence. Grounded in your reality.
Farmer knowledge, regional climate estimates and agricultural models each tell a different part of the story. Regional information can support decisions, but it cannot replace field observations or guarantee harvest results.
