# 🌍 AgroResilience Africa: Continental Crop Monitoring & AI Forecasting System
An enterprise-grade, edge-computed geospatial platform designed to track crop health, estimate yields, and forecast agricultural productivity across Africa. Powered by **Digital Earth Africa's Open Data Cube (STAC API)** and deployed entirely on the **Cloudflare Edge Network** with integrated **Workers AI**.
## 🚀 Key Capabilities
- **Continental Scaling with Granular Filters:** Seamless navigation from a pan-African overview down to specific national fields (e.g., Zambia's Mkushi Farm Block).
- **Edge Geospatial Compute:** Real-time computation of the **Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)** directly inside Cloudflare Workers using Sentinel-2 Surface Reflectance data, completely bypassing heavy GIS server overhead.
- **Robust Cloud Masking:** Automated processing of the Scene Classification Layer (SCL) to remove cloud interference, matching real-world data science practices.
- **Edge AI Insights:** Utilizes Cloudflare Workers AI (`Llama-3`) to run inference on time-series vegetation analytics to produce descriptive yield forecasts and strategic resilience recommendations.
