Abstract

Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy, but farmers often face challenges like unpredictable weather, poor soil conditions, and lack of proper guidance. These issues can affect crop production and lead to losses. To address this, this paper presents a smart agriculture system using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help farmers make better decisions. Farmers face challenges such as climate variability, soil degradation, and lack of decision support. This paper proposes an AI-based smart agriculture system for crop recommendation, yield prediction, and rainfall forecasting. Machine learning models including Random Forest, XG Boost, and Artificial Neural Networks are trained on agricultural data (temperature, rainfall, humidity, and soil nutrients). The system achieves up to 98% accuracy for crop recommendation and 96% for rainfall prediction. A key contribution is the integration of Explainable AI (XAI) using SHAP to interpret predictions and increase user trust. The proposed system supports better decision-making, improves productivity, and promotes sustainable farming.
