Having reliable forecasts of food production remains a major challenge in many countries. This literature review, prepared as part of an AMIS capacity building project financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, provides an overview of recent practices and advances in the area of crop yield forecasting at farm and parcel level. It complements an earlier study entitled "Crop Yield Forecasting: Methodological and Institutional Aspects", released in February 2016, which covered crop yield forecasting at regional and national levels.
