1. A system comprising:
a mobile sensory platform comprising:
a propulsion system configured to move the mobile sensory platform within a growing area;
a vertically-extending support;
multiple sensors in or on the vertically-extending support, wherein different sensors are positioned at different heights along the vertically-extending support, the sensors configured to capture data associated with multiple plants in the growing area;
a communication interface configured to support two-way wireless communication;
a power supply; and
a control system configured to control movement of the mobile sensory platform and operation of the sensors;
wherein the multiple sensors comprise:
microclimate sensors configured to sense microclimates around individual ones of the multiple plants in the growing area; and
stereo imaging sensors configured to capture images of the multiple plants in the growing area; and

wherein the multiple sensors are configured to non-invasively capture multi-dimensional data points for the individual ones of the multiple plants in the growing area, at least some of the multi-dimensional data points associated with a three-dimensional (3D) structure of a canopy of the individual ones of the multiple plants in the growing area; and

a data processing system configured to process the multi-dimensional data points using at least one model in order to identify one or more issues affecting one or more of the multiple plants in the growing area.
