Abstract
As the world faces growing challenges in ensuring food security, predicting crop
yields accurately be- comes increasingly crucial. Traditionally, this prediction re- lied on
methods limited by their inability to handle complex interactions between various factors like
climate, soil, and farming practices. This is where Machine Learning (ML) emerges as a gamechanger.
By harnessing the power of data-driven insights, ML offers highly accurate
predictions surpassing traditional methods. This paper specifically dives into the potential and
challenges of utilizing ML for crop yield prediction, highlighting its strengths and areas for
further development. While traditional approaches often fall short in capturing the intricate
relationships impacting yield, the proposed method leverages satellite imagery to extract
valuable features and deliver precise predictions on granular levels. Ultimately, this paves the
way for farmers to make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, maximize
production, and contribute significantly to global food security.
