Summary

Rehosted from: https://github.com/agroimpacts/lacunalabels/

This repository hosts the datasets resulting from a project to generate a continent-wide set of crop field labels for Africa covering the years 2017-2023. The data are intended for training and assessing machine learning models that can be used to map agricultural fields over large areas and multiple years.

The project was funded by the Lacuna Fund, and led by Farmerline, in collaboration with Spatial Collective and the Agricultural Impacts Research Group at Clark University.

Please refer to the technical report for more details on the methods used to develop the dataset, an analysis of label quality, and usage guidelines. The report and additional documents, analyses, and demonstration code used to develop labels by cloning the repository.
