About

Maria Lampridi is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of agricultural robotics, labor economics, and the future of work in farming. Her scholarship examines how the rapid rise of autonomous and robotic systems is reshaping agricultural employment, workforce dynamics, and economic structures across the sector. Her most cited work, "A Case-Based Economic Assessment of Robotics Employment in Precision Arable Farming" (2019, 47 citations), provides a rigorous economic framework for evaluating how smart farming technologies compare to conventional machinery and human labor. Building on this foundation, her 2021 paper "The Future of Agricultural Jobs in View of Robotization" (34 citations) explores the broader implications of computerization and automation for agricultural workers, tracing the historical and emerging roles of robots in routine and complex farming tasks. Her more recent contribution (2024, 11 citations) addresses workforce adaptation strategies, highlighting the urgent need for reskilling low-skilled workers at risk of displacement. Collectively, Lampridi's research offers invaluable insights for policymakers, educators, and agricultural stakeholders navigating the profound human dimensions of technological transformation in modern farming.
