Botana AI, with Cerere, your digital agronomist. Made for Sicily, built with Sicilian farmers. What should you grow on this field, and what will it earn you?

No forms, no technical knowledge needed. WHAT YOU GET • Your fields on the map, each with its soil and its climate • A ranking of crops for every field, with a Botana Score from 0 to 100 across soil, climate, water, profit and risk • Costs, revenue and estimated profit per crop, and you can replace any price or cost with your own • Weather alerts for the field that is actually hit, with what to do about it • Olive, citrus, almond, pistachio, carob, avocado and more: the young years of a new orchard are counted, not hidden • Photograph a sick leaf and ask Cerere what it could be • Photograph your soil analysis and the app reads it for you WHAT IT IS BUILT ON • More than 300 crops and varieties, including Sicilian durum landraces such as Russello, Timilia and Perciasacchi • Thirty years of daily weather at your field's own coordinates, a seven-day forecast and a seasonal outlook • World soil maps at your exact point.
