Hôte:
Machine Learning comparison of 4 algorithms (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Decision Tree, Linear Regression) for predicting barley yields in Morocco. Includes complete data pipeline from preprocessing to model evaluation. Built with Python and scikit-learn.
# 🌾 Barley Yield Prediction Using Machine Learning (Synthetic Educational Project)
This project demonstrates how machine learning can be applied to predict **barley yields** using synthetic but realistic agronomic data inspired by Moroccan farming systems.
> ⚠️ **Disclaimer:** The data used here is fully synthetic and intended for educational and demonstration purposes only. Do not use it for operational agricultural decisions.

## Project Summary
This repository provides a full ML pipeline to simulate precision agriculture applications, specifically for barley yield prediction, using realistic input variables:
- **Environmental conditions** (temperature, rainfall, soil pH)
- **Soil nutrients** (N, P, K, organic matter)
- **Farm management** (fertilizer rates, seed density, crop variety)
- **Geographical context** (regions, soil types)
**Goal**: Showcase how data science can support data-driven decision-making in dryland agriculture.
