About

Alexia Gobrecht is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable agricultural innovation, specializing in the environmental assessment of digital technologies in farming. Her work critically examines how precision agriculture, IoT sensors, and data-driven tools impact ecological systems, bridging the gap between technological advancement and environmental stewardship. Her most-cited paper, "Environmental assessment of digitalisation in agriculture: A systematic review" (2024, 17 citations), provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the carbon footprint, resource use, and lifecycle impacts of digital farming practices—a foundational resource for policymakers and agri-tech developers. Gobrecht’s contributions are particularly notable for their interdisciplinary approach, integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies with emerging digital agriculture trends. By highlighting both the promises and pitfalls of agricultural digitalisation, she has shaped critical discourse on sustainable intensification. Her work is increasingly cited in studies on climate-smart agriculture and circular economy models, positioning her as a key voice in the transition toward environmentally responsible food systems. For students and researchers, Gobrecht’s research offers a rigorous, evidence-based lens for navigating the complex trade-offs between technological efficiency and ecological resilience.
