LUMS Digital Sustainable Agriculture Facility
A state-of-the-art Agri research facility at LUMS
LUMS Smart Agri-Field is a state-of-the-art, closed-loop, model agricultural farm for developing and testing innovative practices for sustainable farming. It was established on the LUMS campus to study the efficacy of Sustainable Intensification (SI) assisted by Precision Agriculture (PA) tools for improving the crop yields, soil health, and lives of the farmer community, compared with the orthodox agricultural practices. Data generated from the field will be accessible by academia and industry to solve the grand challenges in agriculture.
