1. A computer implemented method of controlling treatment of a plurality of plants to timely match market demand data, the computer implemented method comprising:
periodically collecting, from a plurality of remote sources, by a diagnostic module of a local production system, the market demand data in a market local to the plurality of plants, after a period of time which is smaller than a production time for the plurality of plants;
capturing, by cameras of the local production system, images representing visual features of the plurality of plants to assess respective growth stages of the plurality of plants and diseases of the plurality of plants;
capturing, by a plurality of monitoring sensors of the local production system, agronomical measurements comprising: temperature, humidity, PH, and CO2, at a substrate of the plurality of plants;
verifying, by a ledger in communication with the monitoring sensors, an integrity and an origin of the agronomical measurements prior to treatment of the plurality of plants, by performing security checks between: a packet which performs filtering of statistics of the agronomical measurements sent to the diagnostic module for yield predictions, and a formatting of the agronomical measurements;
training a convolutional neural network with the captured images of the plurality plants and with operational rules referring to a type of the plurality plants being managed;
comparing, by the convolutional neural network, the images of the visual features of the plurality of plants and the agronomical measurements to the referred type of the plurality of plants being managed, to predict conformity data of the plurality of plants with a trained output taught with large datasets of agronomical knowledge assessing the respective growth stages of the plurality of plants;
detecting, from the packet filtering of the agronomical measurements received at the diagnostic module, and from a lacking in the conformity data, that a disease has spread to the plurality of plants at the local production system;
evaluating, by the diagnostic module, that based on the detected disease and the market demand data, the local market will be underserved;
subsequent to said evaluating, treating the plurality of plants by:
determining, by the convolutional neural network, from the agronomical knowledge, a need for lighting and a prescription of nutrition substances depending on the respective growth stages of the plurality of plants and the detected disease;
controlling, by a distribution system of the local production system: an intensity and a spectrum of the lighting of an illumination system, as well as the determined nutrition substances to feed the substrate of the plurality of plants;
controlling, by the local production system, a diagnostic, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, based on the agronomical measurements, in order to maintain both the substrate of the plurality of plants and air surrounding the plurality of plants consistent with operation of the illumination system.
