Abstract: Agriculture is the backbone of many economies, playing a crucial role in food security and rural livelihoods. However, predicting crop yields accurately remains a significant challenge due to factors like fluctuating weather conditions, soil variability, and changing farming practices. Traditionally, yield estimation has depended on historical trends, farmer experience, and generalized climate models, which often fail to capture real-time complexities. This study introduces a machine learningdriven approach to enhance crop yield prediction by leveraging information from several sources, including past yield figures, soil characteristics and climatic records. Utilizing advanced algorithms including regression models, decision trees, and ensemble learning methods, we aim to improve forecasting accuracy and offer actionable insights to farmers. The proposed system helps in optimizing resource allocation, reducing agricultural uncertainties, and enabling better decision-making for sustainable farming. Our results indicate that machine learning models outperform traditional estimation techniques, delivering more accurate and flexible forecasts. This research contributes to the growing field of precision agriculture by integrating data science into farming practices, ultimately leading to increased productivity and efficiency in the agricultural sector.
