Yes, you can use the Farmware page Camera Calibration and Weed Detector widgets to run the weed detection software, which is written in Python using OpenCV, and runs on the Raspberry Pi. You can also run plant detection (after camera calibration) using the Run Farmware step in the Sequence builder.

If you would like to run your own python code, you would package and install it as a Farmware and it would run on the Raspberry Pi.

First part yes, second part you would need to install your farmware packge from a form of an internet url I guess; At the moment I don`t know how you can distribute farmware packages or how you could only install them “locally”…

@Gabriel I just saw that there are packages like camera calibration etc. in the dropdown list on the farmwares page; What is that exactly, nothing happens if I click run, when did you introduce them and do they work?

Yes, you can follow the documentation for the Camera Calibration and Weed Detector to use the farmwares in the widgets.
