The Institute of Biology, with the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute of UPD, Institute of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and Institute of Plant Breeding, UPLB, embarked in a project funded by the DOST-PCIEERD in 2018 to establish a smart indoor farm for food production. This project aptly called SPICE – Smart Plant Production In Controlled Environment, recently had the ceremonial harvesting of crops from one of three developed facilities with a fully controlled environment set up.
