"Scalable Machine Learning Solutions for Forecasting Agricultural Yields in the Pre-Season"

Abstract

Tamil Nadu, a coastal state in India, is facing agricultural instability, which is negatively impacting its industrial sector. Limited resources, including land and population density, constrain the state's ability to expand manufacturing. Historically, farmers relied on traditional knowledge and word of mouth, but today, unpredictable climatic conditions have rendered these methods less effective. Advances in statistical technologies are shedding light on agricultural challenges and farm data, paving the way for new directions in agricultural sciences. These developments have the potential to significantly benefit farmers by introducing modern technological methods. Machine learning techniques, for instance, enable predictions and insights into various agricultural aspects, such as crop availability, crop rotation, water and fertilizer requirements, and pest control. To overcome the challenges posed by the local climate, it is essential to implement efficient systems that support farmers in production and management. Such systems can aid in cultivating crops effectively while addressing specific agricultural issues. Modern tools, such as guidance devices, can assist farmers by recommending suitable crops based on factors like climate conditions, resource availability, and seasonal trends. Data analytics plays a key role in extracting valuable insights from agricultural datasets. By analysing this data, crop recommendations can be tailored to optimize yield and align with seasonal patterns. These advancements are crucial for ensuring sustainable farming practices and equipping the next generation of farmers with the tools they need to succeed.

Specification

Description:Indian agriculture has a rich history spanning centuries, and today, it ranks second globally in agricultural output. In 2009, the sector-encompassing forestry and fisheries-contributed 16.6% to the GDP and employed over 50% of the workforce. However, its contribution to GDP has been steadily declining over the years.
The success of a farmer's yield depends on numerous factors, including meteorological, geographical, biological, and economic conditions. Price volatility further complicates decisions about what and when to plant. Unpredictable weather patterns and changing climate conditions make it increasingly difficult for farmers to choose suitable crops and determine optimal sowing periods. These uncertainties also extend to the application of fertilizers, influenced by varying seasonal climates and essential resources like soil, water, and air. Consequently, agricultural yields have been consistently decreasing.
Farmers face challenges in predicting crop success, which directly impacts their livelihoods. A sophisticated yet user-friendly recommendation system could provide much-needed support. Such a model would integrate key variables-precipitation, temperature, soil type, location, and seasonality-to forecast yields and recommend the most suitable crops for a specific area.
This framework addresses critical agricultural challenges:
• Yield Prediction: Incorporates weather, pests, and historical crop data to make informed recommendations.
• Risk Management: Offers data-driven insights for managing agricultural risks.
• Resource Optimization: Suggests the best crops and optimal planting times to maximize output.
Unlike traditional systems, which are often hardware-intensive, costly, and complex, the proposed model is designed to be cost-effective, accessible, and practical. It aims to help farmers boost productivity, meet growing food demands, and adapt to economic and environmental shifts. By improving decision-making and providing reliable crop forecasts, this solution can pave the way for sustainable agricultural growth.
