Olympe is a decision support software to improve farmer's or groups of farmers’ understanding of their own situation and their socio-economic context. It can be used for both individual and collective scales.
The Olympe software has various functionalities. It can be used as:
·A database: information on product prices, native units, cropping / animal systems, farming systems.
·An accounting calculator: automatic computation or custom output forms based on self-made indicators to answer specific questions.
·A simulator to:
