About

Madhu Khanna is a leading scholar at the intersection of agricultural economics, environmental policy, and technological innovation. Her research focuses on the economics of weed management, sustainable agriculture, and the adoption of precision technologies to address pressing environmental challenges. In her highly cited work, Khanna develops integrated ecological–economic models to evaluate the long-term viability of emerging technologies, such as robotic weed control, as alternatives to heavy herbicide use. Her 2024 paper on herbicide-resistant weed management with robots (9 citations) exemplifies her ability to bridge agronomy and economics, offering a framework to assess the economic and ecological trade-offs of automation in farming. With a career marked by influential contributions to the economics of bioenergy, carbon sequestration, and water quality, Khanna’s research has shaped policy discussions on sustainable intensification. Her work is widely cited by economists, ecologists, and policymakers, reflecting its interdisciplinary impact. Through her rigorous modeling and policy-relevant insights, Khanna continues to inform the transition toward more resilient and environmentally sound agricultural systems.
