# Test Scenario 07: Agriculture - Sustainable Farming Practices Research

## 🏢 **Industry Context**: Agriculture/Farming
**Role**: Farm Operations Manager  
**Task**: Research sustainable farming techniques and certification requirements for organic agriculture

## 📋 **Scenario Description**
You manage a 500-acre family farm transitioning from conventional to organic agriculture. You need to research sustainable farming practices, organic certification requirements, and soil health management techniques to ensure successful transition and long-term sustainability.

## 🎯 **Your Mission (Completely Autonomous)**

### **Step 1: Setup FSS-Mini-RAG**
1. Read the repository README.md to understand how to install FSS-Mini-RAG
2. Follow the installation instructions for your platform
3. Verify the installation works by running `rag-mini --help`

### **Step 2: Gather Research Materials**
Create a folder called `sustainable-farming-research` and populate it with relevant documentation:
- USDA organic certification standards and procedures
- Sustainable agriculture practices and case studies
- Soil health assessment and improvement techniques
- Integrated pest management (IPM) strategies
- Water conservation and irrigation efficiency guides

**Sources to explore**:
- USDA National Organic Program documentation
- Sustainable agriculture research institutions
- Extension service publications and guides
- Organic farming certification bodies
- Agricultural sustainability research papers

### **Step 3: Index and Search**
1. Use FSS-Mini-RAG to index your `sustainable-farming-research` folder
2. Perform searches to answer these questions:
   - "What is the transition period required for organic certification?"
   - "Which sustainable practices provide the best soil health benefits?"
   - "How can integrated pest management reduce chemical inputs?"
   - "What water conservation techniques work best for our crop types?"
   - "What record-keeping is required for organic certification?"

### **Step 4: Document Your Findings**
Write your findings in `RESULTS.md` including:
- Organic certification timeline and requirements
- Soil health improvement strategies and techniques
- Sustainable pest and disease management approaches
- Water conservation and efficiency measures
- Economic analysis of sustainable farming practices

### **Step 5: Evaluation**
Rate FSS-Mini-RAG's effectiveness for:
- Finding specific information across multiple documents
- Searching complex documentation efficiently
- Helping with research and analysis workflows
- Overall usefulness for agriculture/farming industry applications

## 📁 **Deliverables**
- `sustainable-farming-research/` folder with research materials
- `RESULTS.md` with findings and FSS-Mini-RAG evaluation
- Documentation of your search queries and discoveries

## ⏱️ **Expected Duration**: 2-3 hours

## 🎓 **Learning Objectives**
- Test FSS-Mini-RAG with agriculture/farming industry content
- Evaluate search effectiveness with domain-specific documentation
- Assess usefulness for professional research workflows in agriculture/farming
