The journal retracts the article titled “Research on the Interface of Sustainable Plant Factory Based on Digital Twin” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding an overlap between this article and a prior publication [2], produced by a different author.

Adhering to our standard procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed a high level of overlap, which included similarities in methodology, figures, layout, paper structure and overall study topic between these two publications [2], without the appropriate acknowledgement and citation. Following discussion with the authors, further concerns relating to the origins of the underlying data could not be satisfactorily resolved. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and the originality of the paper and has decided to retract this article [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).

This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Sustainability.

The authors did not agree with this decision.
