About

Dobri Yarkov is a researcher whose work bridges two critical domains: sustainable agricultural technology and the socio-economic transformation of energy-intensive regions. His key research areas include robotic animal husbandry and the just transition of coal-dependent economies under the European Green Deal. In his 2022 paper on robotic animal husbandry, Yarkov critically analyzes innovations in robotic milking and feeding systems for farm animals, proposing novel approaches to improve efficiency and animal welfare. This work, though early in its citation impact with 2 citations, holds significant potential for modernizing livestock management. His 2021 study on the just transition of the Marishki Basin in Bulgaria examines how regions reliant on coal mining can pivot toward a circular, bio-based, and renewable energy economy. With 2 citations, this paper contributes to the policy discourse on environmentally responsible economic transformation. Yarkov’s dual focus on technological innovation and regional sustainability underscores his commitment to addressing complex challenges at the intersection of agriculture, energy, and environmental policy, making his work relevant for students and researchers interested in applied sustainability and rural development.
