Could you build this?

Partial While an ML script combining public datasets can be orchestrated with AI assistance, building a rigorous geospatial and agrometeorological prediction model across 47 counties requires specialized domain knowledge in earth observation and remote sensing.

What it would actually take: The project requires an ETL pipeline ingesting raster data from CHIRPS (precipitation) and ERA5 (climate variables), spatially aggregating them to Kenyan administrative boundaries, and harmonizing with KNBS/FAO crop yield statistics. Hard parts include handling cloud cover/missing satellite data, spatial-temporal cross-validation to prevent leakage, and agronomic feature engineering (e.g., growing degree days, dry spells). A production implementation requires Python geospatial stacks (xarray, rioxarray, rasterio, geopandas) and ML frameworks like LightGBM or PyTorch.
