Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to clarify the importance of explainability in the crop recommendation process and provide insights on how Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) can be incorporated into existing models successfully. The objective is to increase the definition and transparency of the recommendations implemented by AI in smart agriculture, leading to a detailed analysis of the synchronization between crop recommendation systems and XAI that informs decisions as it has sustainable knowledge and practices in modern agriculture. It reviews state-of-the-art XAI techniques such as local interpretable model-agnostic interpretation (LIME), SHapley interpretation additive approach (SHAP), integrated gradients (IG), and level-wise relevance propagation (LRP). It focuses on interpretable models and critical features analysis, and XAI methods are discussed in terms of their applications, critical features, and definitions. The paper found that XAI methods such as LIME and SHAP can make AI-driven crop recommendation systems more transparent and reliable. Graphical techniques such as dependency plots, summary plots, waterfall graphs, and decision plots effectively analyze feature importance. The paper includes counterfactual explanations using dice ml and hearing with advanced techniques combining IG and LRP to provide in-depth narrative model behavior. The novelty of this study lies in a detailed investigation of how XAI can be incorporated into crop recommendation systems to address the “black box” nature of AI models. It uses a unique XAI technique and model approach to make AI-driven recommendations more meaningful and practical for farmers. The proposed systems and techniques are designed to consume agriculture, addressing the specific needs of intelligent systems, making this research a significant contribution to agricultural AI.
