This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will provide $200,000 to Iowa State University to develop a national-scale planning roadmap for an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-ready agricultural research testbed called AI-AGARENA. The goal is to create a unified, geographically distributed testbed across multiple locations that can support the development and evaluation of advanced AI technologies in real-world farming environments. This infrastructure will integrate autonomous robotics, wireless networking, and multimodal sensing with cyberinfrastructure to democratize access to agricultural data and test environments for the broader research community. The planning effort will engage scientists, educators, industry stakeholders, and government agencies to ensure the testbed is extensible and responsive to national priorities in food security and agricultural resilience. The project will run from August 2025 to July 2027.
