Ohhh, this is fascinating, reminds me a lot of the scenario @KipCurtis described at Richland Gro-Op:
I’m sorry to say I don’t have any specific advice on this issue, regarding the maps and whether it’s better to have 4 separate farmOS instances vs one shared instance. Intuition tells me the former option, but I think there have been developments related to multiple instances that I’m not privvy to. @mstenta, what’s the latest on working with multiple farms in farmOS, has anything emerged yet from the pods that USDA was looking to implement?
Getting back to the prior art at Richland Gro-Op and the Microfarms Projects, Runrig has been slowly working at snails-pace on a system that we hope can integrate with farmOS to monitor the status of multiple farms working on a single crop plan, main repo here, although the original design doc we outlined with their co-op manager might be of more immediate interest:
It’s all at a very early proof-of-concept stage, but I’m curious if others might find it useful to have a dashboard for integrating multiple farmOS instances, using a portable data format like JSON-LD for interchange between farmOS and Solid pods or similarly distributed data storage.
