Your state
Why it matters.
The calendar punishes guessing. Matching crop to soil and season is the oldest optimisation in farming — and the one that decides the year.
What success looks like.
- A season plan for one plot with reasons tied to soil and rainfall.
- Two crop sequences compared with a stated recommendation.
- Sources for every assumption — local experience counts, labelled as such.
The component skills.
Typical mistakes.
- — Planning by habit instead of by season window.
- — Ignoring water availability in a dry spell.
- — Copying another farm's plan without checking your own soil.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
Soil and rainfall baseline ~45 min
For one plot: write what you know of its soil (texture, drainage, last season), and the rainfall pattern of the last two years. Ask an elder neighbour too — and label it as local experience.

Build the season calendar ~35 min
Lay out the twelve months and mark sowing windows, water availability and market timing for your two main crops.

Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in DISHA members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
accuracy
Concrete numbers, units and exact values instead of vague amounts
completeness
All parts of the task covered — nothing skipped or assumed away
preparation
Preparation before action: rates checked, plans made, materials ready
process_correctness
Steps done in a sensible order, nothing skipped
self_awareness
Honest signals: what you noticed, what was hard, what you'd change
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
