We want to create original content, explore, and eventually find answers to the following fundamental questions:
- When to plant?
- What to plant?
- Where to sell?
However, the lack of data is apparent. It's the first problem to solve. To that end the challenge 2 team decided to launch a MASSIVE DATA COLLECTION ACTION.
