This study would expand the literature on the application of quantum computing in agriculture because it is an emerging field that holds potential for addressing various challenges in food production. In the domain of crop yield prediction, we are laying down the foundations for less vulnerable farming structures that are able to meet the future climate conditions and the growing global food requirements. Thus, the study calls for more research on potential quantum-based solutions in other essential use cases in agriculture. |\n|  | © 2025 The authors published by JCIS.

Introduction  \nThe world's agriculture finds itself at a crossroads today, majorly propelled by the challenges of feeding the evergrowing population and the intensifying effects of global warming. The United Nations estimates that the global population could double to nearly 10 billion by 2050 [1], necessitating an increase in agricultural food production to  \nsustain this population. Similarly, it also directly affects agricultural production through more frequent and severe subsequent weather conditions, an affected germination calendar, and an increase in the","cbCaiepL6vyzXgIM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiepL6vyzXgIM","pdf",657561,4,1,15,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Challenges in crop yield forecasting\n## High-dimensional soil and weather data\n# Proposed quantum machine learning approach\n## QSVM and QNN integration\n# Experimental results and implications\n## Predictive performance and robustness","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address in crop yield forecasting?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses limited accuracy of conventional forecasting methods when soil and weather data create highly complex, nonlinear relationships and high-dimensional feature spaces.\"},{\"question\":\"Which quantum machine learning methods are introduced?\",\"answer\":\"The study develops and incorporates QSVM and QNN into conventional machine learning models for learning from large, multi-year datasets.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the quantum-enhanced models perform compared with conventional methods?\",\"answer\":\"The results report higher predictive power, with superior MSE values and improved robustness, attributed to better generalization under nonlinear relationships.\"}]","Optimizing Crop Yield Forecasts Using Quantum Machine Learning Techniques with High-Dimensional Soil and Weather Data -
