FarmOS is a comprehensive web-based application designed to facilitate farm management, planning, and record-keeping. The platform has been collaboratively developed by a diverse community consisting of farmers, developers, researchers, and organizations. Their shared goal is to establish a standardized platform for collecting and managing agricultural data efficiently.
At its core, the farmOS server is constructed using Drupal, a popular content management framework. This choice ensures that the system is both modular and extensible, allowing for seamless integration with various components and customization to suit specific farm requirements. Moreover, the use of Drupal ensures a robust and secure foundation for the application.
One of the standout features of farmOS is the availability of the FarmOS Field Kit app. This app serves as a valuable tool for farmers, providing offline data entry capabilities on both Android and iOS platforms. Additionally, the Field Kit app is also accessible as a progressive web app (PWA) through farmOS.app, allowing users to access the platform across various devices and browsers.
