Abstract

Agriculture plays an essential role in sustaining human activities. Challenges such as the indiscriminate use of pesticides pose a threat to food security. Evolutionary computing (EC) has emerged as a robust computational methodology for the treatment of many complex agricultural problems in recent years. In addition, scientific workflows are a technology that supports the automation and reproducibility of large-scale in silico experiments. However, the design of evolutionary workflows is still an open issue for decision-makers. Therefore, to bridge this gap, we present a novel approach to help researchers model evolutionary workflows. To answer this question, in this chapter, we use VisPyGMO, which offers a set of evolutionary algorithm modules that help researchers build reusable evolutionary workflows more efficiently. Moreover, we show the feasibility of VisPyGMO in analysing a large real-world agricultural dataset used to respond to competency questions (CQ) and predict future use of pesticides.
