Abstract

In many developing countries, farming isn’t just about filling plates it’s the pulse of economies, supporting millions of livelihoods. Yet farmers and leaders face a relentless struggle: harvests that swing wildly due to erratic weather, exhausted soils, and shrinking resources like water and fertile land. This uncertainty ripples through communities, threatening food security and economic survival. By blending three advanced algorithms Lasso Regression, Kernel Ridge Regression, and Elastic Net the research builds a "stacked" model designed to predict crop yields with precision. But here’s the game-changer: instead of drowning in endless data, the model focuses only on the most critical factors like rainfall, temperature, and pesticide use through a process called feature selection.
