About
Farhad Kool is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural technology and sustainable farming systems. His work focuses on the socio-economic drivers and barriers to adopting autonomous field robots in European crop farming, with a particular emphasis on understanding farmers' perspectives. Kool’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between technological innovation and on-farm decision-making, demonstrating that labour scarcity and cost pressures are key catalysts for robot uptake. His most-cited study, "Drivers for robot use in field crop farming: farmers’ perspectives from four case areas in Europe" (2023), provides critical empirical evidence from surveys across diverse European regions, revealing how economic, environmental, and social sustainability goals align with automation. This work has already garnered 2 citations, establishing a foundation for future research in precision agriculture and rural labour dynamics. Kool’s research is notable for its farmer-centric approach, offering actionable insights for policymakers, agri-tech developers, and extension services. By highlighting the real-world challenges and motivations of growers, he is shaping the discourse on how robotics can transform field crop production while addressing pressing sustainability issues.
