How can I access the CFP?
The new perennials pathway is the first module accessible on the new Cool Farm Platform. The other modules continue to be live and accessible in the Cool Farm Tool and will be migrated to Cool Farm Platform according to the pipeline defined by the Cool Farm Alliance team (timelines are not defined yet).
If you wish to sign up and use the Cool Farm perennials pathway, follow these steps:
- Go to the Cool Farm Platform: https://cfp.coolfarm.org/.
- Click on "sign in". If you have no user created yet, click on "sign up" under the blue button in the pop-up modal. NOTE: Make sure you use the same email address and name you use in the Cool Farm Tool. This helps us matching up your profiles once we migrate accounts from the Cool Farm Tool to Cool Farm Platform.
- After filling your details and clicking on "sign up", fill in the verification code that has been sent to your email address (please check your junk folder if you cannot find the email in your inbox).
- Click on "confirm account". You will now be logged in and taken to the CFP Homepage.
- Start creating a farm or create a new assessment.
- Please consult the info buttons for each field for further guidance.
