This project focuses on developing a machine learning model to classify diseases in Cassava plants using leaf images. Cassava is a crucial food security crop in Africa, primarily grown by small-holder farmers. The goal is to help farmers quickly identify plant diseases to prevent crop loss and ensure food security.
# Cassava Leaf Disease Classification
Cassava leaf disease classification dataset. Cassava is a crucial food security crop in Africa, primarily grown by small-holder farmers. The goal is to help farmers quickly identify plant diseases to prevent crop loss and ensure food security.
