01 / MAPPED
Every study, pinned to place.
We geolocate field trials and meta-analyses to the soils, climates, and counties where they ran — so local context stays visible and nearby evidence is easier to weigh alongside broader findings.
02 / MEASURED
Effect sizes, not abstracts.
Yield, soil carbon, runoff, profit. Read what a practice actually moved, how confidently, and under which conditions — pulled into one comparable layer.
03 / MISSING
The gaps worth funding.
Where the map goes dark is where the next dollar matters most. Surface untested practices, regions, and crops — and route funding to the questions still open.
Public evidence layer
A public home for place-based agricultural evidence.
OpenAgData connects published studies, field sites, environmental context, research hubs, and funding in one place — so people can trace what was learned, where it applies, and who made the work possible.

Why we're building OpenAgData
Keep agricultural knowledge open, grounded, and useful.
Agricultural research is most useful when you can see where it came from, how it was measured, and who it may apply to. OpenAgData connects findings to place, conditions, funding, and the people behind the work — so decisions can start with real evidence. That same public foundation can help future AI tools cite local research instead of guessing.
01
Grounded
Evidence stays tied to the soil, water, climate, and management context where it was measured.
02
Traceable
Every visible number traces back to a publication, hub, field site, or funder record.
03
Decision-ready
Structured evidence settles field decisions now, and gives future tools a foundation they can trust.

Turn research into impact intelligence or ground-truth data.
Every project starts with a question. Impact work organizes what a portfolio made possible; ground-truth work builds a defensible evidence layer for a model, claim, or decision.
Question-ledSource-backedBuilt to be maintained
01 / Impact intelligence
Understand what your research made possible.
Labs, stations, institutes, networks, and funders define impact differently. We reconcile the portfolio around the mission and the audience that needs the answer.
- Projects, publications, awards, and people
- Reach, outcomes, funding, and evidence gaps
- Portfolio, dashboard, brief, report, or ongoing service
02 / Ground-truth data
Build the evidence layer your model needs.
Model, analytics, MRV, agency, and institutional teams specify the decision, geography, definitions, and validation standard. We build the traceable layer around that need.
- Field, site, or county-year observations
- Source, definition, confidence, and provenance
- Validation data, reconciliation, files, or API delivery

Selected public records remain searchable. Organization-specific curation, validation, analysis, delivery, and maintenance are paid.

Your trial belongs on this map.
Whether it's one paper or years of station work, start by sharing a single record. We'll connect it to the county, soil, crop system, and organization behind it so people searching for local evidence can find it. I read every submission myself.
