Generating and Augmenting Agricultural Synthetic Data in Africa

SAGDA: Synthetic Agriculture Data in Africa

SAGDA (Synthetic Agriculture Data in Africa) is a Python library for generating, augmenting, and validating synthetic agricultural data for African regions. The library allows users to create realistic agricultural datasets, augment them using machine learning techniques, and validate the generated data against real data. SAGDA can also integrate real-world data from APIs like NASA POWER and OpenWeatherMap to enhance synthetic data generation.

Key Features

• Generate Synthetic Agricultural Data: Create time-series datasets with geospatial, climate, soil, crop yield, and fertilizer information.
• Augment Data: Augment real agricultural datasets using machine learning techniques such as random sampling, interpolation, linear regression, autoencoders, and GANs.
• Validate Data: Validate synthetic data using statistical tests (e.g., KS test) and compare it against real data.
• API Integration: Fetch real-world climate data using NASA POWER and OpenWeatherMap APIs, or generate synthetic data based on user-specified parameters.

Installation

You can install SAGDA from PyPI using pip:

pip install sagda

Dependencies

• pandas
• numpy
• requests
• scipy
• tensorflow
• scikit-learn

Usage Examples

1. Generate Synthetic Agricultural Data

You can generate synthetic data using either random generation or real-world data from APIs (e.g., NASA POWER, OpenWeatherMap).

Basic Usage (Without API)

from sagda import generate

# Generate synthetic data without API
data = generate(
    num_records=12,
    start_date="2020-01-01",
    end_date="2020-12-31",
    lat=34.0522,
    lon=-118.2437,
    crop_type="corn",
    frequency='monthly'
)

print(data)

Usage with NASA POWER API

from sadga import generate

# Generate synthetic data using NASA POWER API
data = generate(
    start_date="2020-01-01",
    end_date="2020-12-31",
    lat=34.0522,
    lon=-118.2437,
    use_nasa=True,
    nasa_api_key="your_nasa_api_key",
    frequency='monthly'
)

print(data)

2. Augment Agricultural Data

You can augment real data using techniques like random sampling, linear regression, autoencoders, or GANs.

Linear Regression-Based Augmentation

from sadga import augment
import pandas as pd

# Example real data
real_data = pd.DataFrame({
    'soil_ph': [6.5, 6.3, 6.7],
    'temperature_min': [12, 14, 13],
    'rainfall': [40, 50, 45],
    'fertilizer_n': [100, 90, 95],
    'yield_kg_per_ha': [3200, 3100, 3300]
})

# Augment the data using linear regression
augmented_data = augment(
    real_data=real_data,
    num_augmented_records=50,
    start_date="2021-01-01",
    end_date="2021-12-31",
    technique='linear_regression',
    lat=34.0522,
    lon=-118.2437
)

print(augmented_data)

3. Validate Synthetic Data

Validate the generated synthetic data by comparing it with real-world data.

Validation Example

from sadga import validate
import pandas as pd

# Example real data
real_data = pd.DataFrame({
    'soil_ph': [6.5, 6.3, 6.7],
    'temperature_min': [12, 14, 13],
    'rainfall': [40, 50, 45],
    'fertilizer_n': [100, 90, 95],
    'yield_kg_per_ha': [3200, 3100, 3300]
})

# Example synthetic data
synthetic_data = pd.DataFrame({
    'soil_ph': [6.4, 6.5, 6.6],
    'temperature_min': [12.5, 13.0, 14.0],
    'rainfall': [43, 44, 46],
    'fertilizer_n': [101, 96, 99],
    'yield_kg_per_ha': [3205, 3105, 3295]
})

# Validate the synthetic data
validation_report = validate(synthetic_data, real_data=real_data)
print(validation_report)

4. API Integration

SADGA integrates with NASA POWER and OpenWeatherMap APIs for fetching real-world climate data. You can pass your API keys as parameters.

NASA POWER API Example

from sadga import generate

# Generate data using NASA POWER API
data = generate(
    start_date="2020-01-01",
    end_date="2020-12-31",
    lat=34.0522,
    lon=-118.2437,
    use_nasa=True,
    nasa_api_key="your_nasa_api_key",
    frequency='monthly'
)

print(data)
