The February 2026 release brings three major workflow improvements: uploading and reviewing multiple soil analyses in one go, editing harvest data and fertilizer applications directly from the rotation table, and a new invitation system that allows non-registered users to be invited to a farm before they sign up. The release also adds a carbon sequestration card to the Atlas and two new SOM-based calculator functions.

Farm Access and Invitations​

This release introduces a formal invitation system for granting access to farms, replacing the previous approach of directly assigning roles.

FDM Core (@nmi-agro/fdm-core)

  • Invitation-based role granting: grantRoleToFarm now creates a pending invitation with a 7-day expiry window instead of immediately granting access. The target principal must accept before gaining any permissions.
  • Generic invitation API: The invitation system has been designed to be resource-agnostic. New functions cover the full lifecycle:
    • createInvitation — creates a pending invitation for any resource type
    • acceptInvitation — accepts a pending invitation and applies the role
    • declineInvitation — declines a pending invitation
    • listPendingInvitationsForPrincipal — lists all pending invitations for a principal across resources
    • autoAcceptInvitationsForNewUser — automatically accepts email-based invitations when a new user verifies their email address
  • Farm-specific helpers: listPendingInvitationsForFarm (requires share permission) and listPendingInvitationsForUser return pending farm invitations enriched with farm and organization names.
  • Invitation management: cancelInvitationForFarm and updateRoleOfInvitationForFarm allow the inviting party to cancel or adjust an outstanding invitation.
  • Enriched role representation: Farm roles are now returned as a list of objects containing role, principal_id, and principal_type ("user" or "organization"), providing more context where role information is displayed.

FDM Application (@nmi-agro/fdm-app)

  • The farm overview page now surfaces pending invitations with accept and decline actions.
  • An invitation email is sent to the recipient when they are invited to a farm.
  • The farm access settings page handles the accept and decline intents, and the access list now makes it clear when invitation management is available.
  • Non-registered users can be invited ahead of sign-up; upon email verification, outstanding invitations are automatically accepted.

Organization Management​

  • Edit organization: Dedicated pages allow users to update their organization's details and add new members in one place.
  • Farm overview per organization: A searchable table now shows all farms accessible to an organization, making it straightforward to get an overview across large portfolios.

Soil Data Management​

  • Bulk PDF upload for soil analyses: Users can upload multiple soil analysis PDFs at once, review the parsed results in a table, and connect them to the relevant field — all in a single workflow on the new fields page.
  • Clarified estimates: The new fields page now makes it explicit that imported soil parameters are estimates derived from the PDF, and that multiple files can be uploaded in one session.
  • Grouped soil parameters: Soil parameters on the field detail page are now grouped and ordered to improve readability.
  • Historical analyses: The soil analysis list for a field now also shows analyses recorded before the currently selected year, avoiding the situation where relevant historical data was not visible.

Rotation Table Enhancements​

  • Inline harvest editing: Harvest dates and harvest parameters can now be edited directly from the cell in the rotation table, without navigating to a separate page.
  • Fertilizer application drill-down: Fertilizer badges in the rotation table are now clickable. Clicking a badge opens a table of all applications of that fertilizer for the selected cultivation or field, and those applications can be edited in place.

Atlas Enhancements​

  • Carbon sequestration card: A new card on the field details page in Atlas shows the current estimated soil organic carbon state, the potential maximum, and reference figures that put the values in perspective.
  • Improved field details layout: The field details page has been redesigned for better information hierarchy and improved responsiveness across screen sizes.
  • Floating back-to-map button: A floating button on the field details page makes it easier to return to the map without scrolling back to the top.
  • Map performance: Elevation data requests in the Atlas have been reduced from a large number of per-pixel queries to 9 requests per pan/zoom by sampling a 3×3 grid of points across the visible viewport. These 9 values are used to calculate the min/max elevation range for the colour legend. Combined with AbortController cancelling in-flight requests on navigation, this results in faster map loads and fewer stale-data artefacts.

Farm Create Wizard​

  • Onboarding context: An information box at the start of the farm create wizard explains what the steps involve before users begin.
  • Additional farm fields: The create form now captures KvK number, grazing intention, and organic certification status, bringing the data model in line with reporting requirements.
  • Derogation question scoping: The derogation question is only shown when creating farms for seasons before 2026, reflecting the end of the derogation scheme.

FDM Calculator: SOM-Based Functions​

Two new functions have been added to quantify the agronomic value of changes in soil organic matter (SOM):

  • calculateNlvSupplyBySom — calculates the change in nitrogen-leverend vermogen (NLV) resulting from a given change in SOM content.
  • calculateWaterSupplyBySom — calculates the change in topsoil water holding capacity resulting from a given change in SOM content.

These functions complement the existing organic matter balance capabilities and can be used to evaluate the practical impact of SOM management decisions on nitrogen supply and water retention.

Documentation​

  • The Authorization page in the FDM documentation now describes the invitation system, including how invitations are created, accepted, and managed.

Technical Improvements​

  • Navigation feedback: If a page transition takes longer than 300 ms, a loading spinner is shown and the page is blurred to prevent unintended double-clicks on navigation actions.
  • Email templates: All transactional email templates now share a common layout, ensuring consistent styling and footers.
  • **Error handling:**Permission-denied errors are now correctly identified even when wrapped in other error types, preventing unnecessary 500 error pages.
  • Postmark inactive recipients: When an email cannot be sent because the recipient address is inactive in Postmark, the user now sees a specific, actionable toast message instead of a generic error.
  • UI components: The shadcn/ui components have been migrated to the unified @radix-ui package.
