Crop atlas

Ten crops, one full chain

Choose a crop by the question you want to investigate. A dossier label describes documentation maturity, not agronomic certainty. Numerical guidance remains unavailable unless a page ties it to screened evidence.

Outline
Questions and page structure only.
Metadata draft
Research leads found, but full text is not screened.
Screening pending
A documented queue exists; human decisions remain incomplete.

Chia

Outline

A tiny-seed processing challenge and the project’s original end-to-end case study.

Amaranth

Metadata draft

Small grain, broad species variation, and difficult household-scale harvest and cleaning questions.

Sesame

Screening pending

An oilseed dossier centered on capsule dehiscence, measured seed loss, storage, and optional oil pressing.

Dry beans

Metadata draft

A staple pulse with variety, harvest maturity, drying, storage, and cooking-quality boundaries.

Moringa

Metadata draft

A perennial expansion crop where intended product, pruning, safety, and climate context must stay explicit.

Sunflower

Outline

An oilseed comparison crop awaiting its literature sweep and topic-by-topic research draft.

Maize

Outline

A staple grain dossier that must separate fresh ears, dry grain, flour, nixtamalized food, and seed products.

Sorghum

Outline

A dryland grain candidate with product boundaries across food grain, forage, syrup, and brewing.

Peanut

Outline

An edible seed and oil crop where pod maturity, curing, storage, mold, and aflatoxin controls must stay explicit.

Pumpkin and squash

Outline

A multi-product crop requiring clear separation of immature fruit, mature flesh, edible seed, and replanting seed.
