As city landscapes modify weather patterns and climate volatility accelerates, self-supporters must make critical growing decisions without actionable insight into how hyperlocal conditions—like heat islands, wind tunnels, or unexpected shade—will affect specific crops.

This creates a tension between the desire for resilient, high-yield harvests and the uncertainty of environmental fit, causing stress, resource waste, and discouragement among urban growers.

There is a lack of granular historical and predictive data that correlates seed variety performance with emerging hyperlocal climatic trends.

Individual growers lack both the expertise and resources to navigate or forecast these small-scale yet impactful variables, and communal knowledge is fragmented.
