Crop recommendation model
Recommend the best crop for a field from soil and weather data, and explain each recommendation.
The brief
Farmers often grow what they grew last year, even when the soil suits another crop better. Build a model that recommends crops from soil nutrients (N, P, K), pH, temperature, humidity and rainfall, and explains each recommendation. Good looks like: a well-validated classifier, explanations an agronomist accepts, and a simple form farmers can use.
What you will build
- Explore the soil and weather features
- Train and compare classifiers
- Validate with cross-validation
- Explain recommendations with SHAP
- Build a simple recommendation form
