Explainable machine learning driven nutrient recommendation for maize production in Malawi by Liben, Feyera, Kihara, Job, Abera, Wuletawu, AbebeMesfin, Tewodrofins, Homann-kee Tui, Sabine, Munthali, Moses, Munthali, Chandiona, Nalivata, Patson, Mzumara, Edward, Tuimene, Lulseged

“…This study aimed to (1) evaluate and compare the predictive performance of multiple machine learning algorithms for maize yield estimation in Malawi; (2) identify the most important yield-determining features through recursive feature elimination (RFECV) and SHAP-based interpretation; (3) examine interaction effects between key nutrient inputs and environmental variables using two-dimensional partial dependence plots; and (4) translate model outputs into site-specific nutrient management insights for precision agronomy in smallholder maize systems. …”

See it grow: A randomized evaluation of a digital innovation to improve crop insurance contract design by Kramer, Berber, Cecchi, Francesco, Levine, Madison, Waithaka, Lilian

“…We conclude that higher take-up rates of digital indemnity-based insurance may not automatically translate into proportionally larger farm investments, but since increased coverage is concentrated among the relatively more vulnerable, it may contribute to complementary objectives such as inclusivity, equity, and resilience. …”

Improving agricultural water productivity: between optimism and caution by David, S., Oweis, Theib Y., Steduto, P., Bindraban, Prem S., Hanjra, Munir A., Kijne, Jacob W.

“…Crop water productivity is already quite high in highly productive regions, and gains in yield (per unit of land area) do not necessarily translate into gains in water productivity. Reuse of water that takes place within an irrigated area or a basin can compensate for the perceived losses at the field-scale in terms of water quantity, though the water quality is likely to be affected. …”
