Canopy growth

Estimated canopy cover over the first year, measured from free Sentinel-2 satellite imagery and cross-checked with ground photos. Satellite is coarse on a small plot, so treat the trend as the signal — not a per-tree figure.

Satellite timeline

The same patch of land over time. Region-level only — never a farmer's exact coordinates. (Sample imagery for preview.)
