About
Dr. E.L.M. de Jonge is a leading researcher in agricultural robotics and sustainable farming systems, with a focus on the socio-economic drivers shaping technology adoption in field crop production. Her work bridges the gap between engineering innovation and on-farm realities, exploring how autonomous machines can address critical challenges like labour scarcity, rising costs, and environmental sustainability. In her highly influential 2023 study, *"Drivers for robot use in field crop farming: farmers’ perspectives from four case areas in Europe,"* de Jonge conducted a comprehensive survey across diverse European regions, revealing that farmers prioritize economic efficiency and social benefits—such as reduced physical strain—over purely technological novelty. This paper, already garnering 2 citations in its early publication, underscores her ability to translate farmer attitudes into actionable insights for policymakers and agri-tech developers. Her contributions have been recognized through collaborations with international agricultural networks, and she continues to shape discourse on human-robot interaction in agriculture. For students and researchers, de Jonge’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches can accelerate the transition toward more resilient, automated farming systems.
