Eyes on the Ground Image Data

The 'Eyes on the Ground' project (lacunafund.org) is a collaboration between ACRE Africa, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and the Lacuna Fund, to create a large machine learning (ML) dataset of smallholder farmer's fields based upon previous work within the Picture Based Insurance framework (Ceballos, Kramer and Robles, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.deveng.2019.100042).

This is a unique dataset of georeferenced crop images along with labels on input use, crop management, phenology, crop damage, and yields, collected across 8 counties in Kenya.The research leading to this dataset was undertaken as part of the CGIAR research program on Policies, Institutions and Markets (PIM)
