About

Lan Ge is a leading researcher at the intersection of agricultural science and digital innovation, whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of smart farming. Her most influential contribution is the seminal review "Big Data in Smart Farming – A review" (2017), which has garnered nearly 3,000 citations, making it a cornerstone reference for scholars and practitioners alike. In this work, Ge systematically mapped how big data analytics, IoT sensors, and machine learning can revolutionize agricultural decision-making, from precision irrigation to supply chain optimization. Beyond this landmark paper, her research spans data-driven crop modeling, sustainable intensification, and the socio-technical challenges of digital agriculture. Ge’s impact is evident not only in citation counts but also in her role as a thought leader who bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and on-farm applications. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating how data can reduce resource waste, enhance food security, and empower smallholder farmers. For students and researchers entering the field, Lan Ge’s contributions offer both a rigorous foundation and a visionary roadmap for harnessing digital tools to build a more resilient and efficient global food system.
