Delaware State University

This Work Seeks to Establish an 1890 Center of Excellence in Emerging Iot Technologies (e-iot) Center for Smart Agriculture, Which Will Focus on Advancing These Technologies, Build Accessible Resources to Facilitate the Use of These Technologies Among the 1890 Land- Grant Institutions and Others. E-iot Will Train a Multidisciplinary and Next Generation Workforce in Data Science and Applied Agriculture, and Link Agricultural Emerging Technologies With Local Farmers and the Agribusiness Community. Delaware State University Will Lead E-iot Center With a Coalitionof 1890 Institutions and Research Institutes to Create Long-term Networks of Researchers Among Land Grant Institutions.we Have Assembled an Exemplary Multi-disciplinary and Multi-institutional (florida A&m University, Alabama A&m State University, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Tuskegee University, NC A&t Su, Southern A&m University, South Carolina State University, the University of California Davis Ai Institute and, University of Delaware Data Science Institute) [HB1]TEAM of Investigators and Educators With Complementary Expertise and Cutting Edgeresearch and Educational Backgrounds Spanning Agriculture, Chemistry, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Materials Science, and Physics (figure 1). We Leveraged a Research and Resource Hub for Developing New Data Products and Applying Novel Data-driven, Including International Data and Smart Technologies Toaddress Short- and Long-term Sustainability in Increased Agricultural Productivity While Minimizing the Impact on Environmental RESOURCES.[HB1]FIGURE 1: Institutional Map
