Frequently Asked Questions
How does Botana AI recommend crops?
Our AI engine analyzes soil composition, microclimate data, altitude, slope, and market conditions to recommend the most profitable and sustainable crops for each field.
What is the Botana Score?
A proprietary sustainability metric evaluating long-term soil health, water usage, input quantity, and planting method. A high Botana Score means the crop is both profitable and sustainable for your specific land.

Can Botana AI read my soil analysis report?
Yes. Upload your soil test PDF and Botana AI automatically extracts nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, organic matter, and texture data to tailor recommendations.
Does Botana AI show which subsidies my fields are eligible for?
Yes. Botana AI identifies eligible EU CAP subsidies per field and factors them directly into profit projections.
