Agri-Weather-Yield Drivers

One-line summary

Analytical project combining weather, yield, soil, and geospatial signals for siting-oriented and environmental decision support.

Context

This project addresses infrastructure-facing planning questions where weather variability, location constraints, and environmental signals need to be evaluated in one consistent analytical frame.

The work reflects earlier domain experience and is presented as a transferable analytical structure for decision support rather than a domain-specific agriculture narrative.

What I built

I built a notebook-led analytical workflow that combines weather records, district-level yield series, soil proxies, and geospatial layers into a reproducible pipeline for comparative scoring and scenario-oriented interpretation.

Methods / data

  • SQL-style data modeling and transformations in DuckDB
  • Python ETL and analysis workflows for feature engineering and quality checks
  • DWD weather station data and district-level yield statistics
  • Soil and land-cover signals for spatial proxy construction and coverage completion
  • Geospatial processing to align heterogeneous layers at district resolution
  • Assumption tracking and validation checks for reproducibility

Outputs

  • District-level analytical tables for weather-yield-environment signals
  • Reproducible notebooks documenting methods and intermediate outputs
  • Risk and suitability-oriented map views for comparative interpretation
  • Summary metrics that support planning conversations

Why it matters

This project demonstrates a transferable analytical pattern for decision support:

  • combine heterogeneous operational and environmental data sources
  • define transparent assumptions and metric logic
  • maintain reproducible ETL and analysis steps
  • produce outputs that can inform siting-oriented and environmental decisions
