About
Dr. Jacques Wolfert is a leading voice in agricultural economics, specializing in the intersection of big data, precision farming, and rural resilience. His seminal work, "A European Perspective on the Economics of Big Data" (2015, 61 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how transformative technologies—from self-driving tractors and GPS-guided systems to robot milking machines, drones, and satellite data—are reshaping agricultural practices and structures across Europe. Wolfert’s research critically examines the economic implications of these innovations, arguing that they hold the key to enhancing farm prosperity and long-term resilience in the face of environmental and market pressures. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge data analytics and real-world agricultural policy, he has helped define a strategic roadmap for the sector’s digital transition. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the socio-economic dimensions of smart farming, offering both rigorous analysis and practical insights into how data-driven technologies can support sustainable rural development.
