There are an enormous number of potential applications for Trellis++ with its OSC+PAC model. Here we show a few illustrative examples, but this list should by no means be considered exhaustive or even fully representative.
A Consumer-Facing Food Company, known as CFFC, wishes to create periodic sustainability reports for consumers to strengthen their brand.
A farmer would like to report the dates they planted various fields to the Farm Services Agency (FSA).
A livestock farmer must maintain records of total nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium amounts applied to farm fields through the spreading of manure for approval from state environmental agencies.
The global fishing industry would like to eliminate over-fishing by requiring fishing vessels to catch fish only in approved areas.
In fresh produce, often each export market has their own rules and regulations around which crop protection products (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.) can be applied to particular crops.
One of the more difficult certification problems is characterized by a mass balance. In its simplest form, there is some mass of product that has been certified to be produced (either based upon the total inputs to the process, or based upon a human auditor’s assessment), and the industry would like to know that the seller of a product indeed can certifiably produce that amount of that product. For example, if an organic farmer could receive a certification that they can or did produce 10 tons of organic apples, downstream buyers of those apples would like to know that the farmer has not re-used that 10-ton organic certification multiple times with multiple buyers, thereby selling potentially non-organic apples under an organic certificate.
