Crop Recommendation Systems: Insights, Trends, and Methodological Approaches
摘要
An agriculture is a fundamental component of India’s economic growth and employment, with more than 1.78 million square kilometers of arable land under active cultivation. Despite being a global leader in agricultural production, India’s farm productivity remains below optimal levels due to limited land resources and suboptimal crop selection. This research explores the potential of a machine learning-driven crop recommendation system to address these challenges. By analyzing various soil properties, climate conditions, and other influential factors, this system aims to provide data-driven crop selection advice customized to specific environmental conditions. Utilizing machine learning, deep learning, and ensemble learning algorithms, this research conducts a comprehensive review of existing techniques to assess their effectiveness and identify suitable models for a robust recommendation system. The goal is to enhance agricultural productivity through optimized crop selection, thereby supporting Indian farmers in making informed cultivation decisions that align with local conditions.
