CIRCE / Intelligent Agriculture
Precision agriculture, controlled growing, soil intelligence, and autonomous field systems at campus scale.
About this pillar
The work.
Precision agriculture research at PLOT's 25-acre Field Station combines controlled-environment growing, soil monitoring, autonomous mobility, and environmental sensing to reimagine how food systems respond to climate variability and resource constraints. Pilots include sensor networks for nutrient optimization, robotics for precision harvesting, and on-site data stewardship that keeps insights local — empowering campus growers and regional partners.
