🌿 Transitioning to Organic Beekeeping: The Certification Process (2D)

A 2D top-down organic-conversion lab: scrub the 12-month clock, widen or narrow the forage buffer radius, dial the share of conventional farmland nearby, and watch the compliance threshold decide the honey's label.

This 2D companion drives the same organic-conversion model as the 3D apiary scene through a plain top-down map: a circular forage buffer sweeps over a patchwork of land parcels, a compliance readout tracks what share of that buffer is conventionally farmed against the 30% ceiling, and a 12-month conversion clock — breakable by a single synthetic treatment — decides whether the honey can carry an organic label.

⚙ Under the hood

2D top-down organic-conversion lab with a live compliance-threshold model, a sweeping forage-buffer radius and a 12-month conversion clock, matching the 3D original's rules.

Why does a synthetic treatment reset the clock instead of just lowering a score?

UK and EU organic standards treat a non-approved veterinary treatment as an immediate breach of the management rules, not a gradual penalty — so the simulation mirrors that by forcing "Non-compliant" the moment the synthetic option is selected, independent of how compliant the surrounding land is.

Why does widening the buffer radius change the compliance percentage?

The 30% ceiling is calculated only from parcels that fall inside the currently assessed radius. A wider radius pulls in more parcels — which can raise or lower the conventional share depending on what lies just outside the smaller circle — the same sensitivity a real control-body site visit has to the radius it chooses to assess.
