Crop Prediction for Sustainable Farming Using Machine Learning Models
摘要
The agriculture sector is the lifeline of mankind and extremely important to the economy. In India, agriculture is the backbone of economic growth. GDP depends on agricultural growth. The necessity of supplying food to mankind is increasing drastically as the population grows daily. Most of the farmers still depend on traditional farming methods. This adversely affects the crop yield, leading to a mismatch in supply and demand. Traditional farming methods relied on farmers’ rudimentary understanding of crop selection. Typically, farmers lean toward growing whichever crop is currently popular in their region or among their neighbors. Land fertility is negatively impacted because of a lack of scientific understanding of farming and the absence of crop rotation. The moment has come for smart digitalization in the agricultural sector. Soil nutrient levels, groundwater levels, and fertilizer types are the three most important variables affecting crop quality. The motivation behind our research is to provide solutions by prediction methods to increase the crop yield of production using emerging technologies like machine learning models. This article introduces a system that uses machine learning techniques to assist farmers. The proposed method recommends the best crop for a plot of land, based on content and climate. Farmers can maximize their crop productivity with the use of real-time data and insights, which allow them to make better decisions.
