The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Arizona State University a $1,135,788 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program to deliver high-speed external connectivity, expand wireless networks and Internet of Things systems, and support precision agriculture research at farms in the Yuma, Arizona region. This effort aims to enhance the cyberinfrastructure capacity of Arizona's research and education network, enabling data collection, monitoring, and sharing to improve crop yields and minimize environmental impacts. The project involves collaborations with the University of Arizona, who received a $XXX,XXX sub-award to contribute expertise in areas like climate studies, materials science, and precision agriculture technologies. The overall goal is to advance the use of information technologies in farming and agribusiness through upgraded networking infrastructure and cross-institutional partnerships.
