Advancement of smart agriculture is crucial for enhancing sustainable urban food production. Significant achievements have been made in the fields of molecular genetics and genomics, yet phenotyping the genomic and environmental impacts on crop performance remains a bottleneck. DiAGRI provides controlled agro-environmental facilities for research and development communities in the Uusimaa-Helsinki area. The facilities will be established at the Viikki campus of the University of Helsinki, in Helsinki, and at the Myyrmäki campus of the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Vantaa. These facilities will integrate smart sensing, Internet-of-Things, and Artificial Intelligence solutions to tackle research and development questions on plant-environment interactions. Importantly, DiAGRI will build collaboration networks on novel technologies and services in indoor crop cultivation and data-driven farming.
