Highlights: A Food Security Identification (FSI) roadmap is proposed for the development of a multi-dimensional food security index. The roadmap employs a machine learning approach towards identifying regions...

Accurate and economically sound soil fertility recommendations are critical for ensuring profitable food production for smallholder farmers. However, such recommendations are lacking in many...

High crop yield variation between years—caused by extreme shocks on the food production system such as extreme weather—can have substantial effects on food production. This in turn...

Highlights: Predicting performance of hybrids prior to field evaluation is a challenging problem. We developed machine learning models to estimate performance of untested hybrids. The...
