Miniaturized precision agriculture

An apparatus comprising:

• a growth chamber chip comprising:
• a base surrounding a growth chamber;
• a growth medium within the growth chamber;
• a sensor package within the growth chamber;
• a sensor feedthrough extending from the sensor package through a portion of the base to an outer surface of the base;
• and
• a transparent seal covering the growth chamber;
• and
• an input/output communications apparatus comprising:
• a frame assembled over the base;
• an internal communications package housed on the frame and connected in communication with the sensor feedthrough of the base;
• and
• a camera-equipped processing and external communications package (CEPECP) housed on the frame and connected in communication with the internal communications package and in communication with a cloud service.
