About
Thibault Salou is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital agriculture and environmental sustainability. His work critically examines the environmental footprint of agricultural digitalisation, from precision farming tools to data-driven supply chains. In his landmark 2024 systematic review, "Environmental assessment of digitalisation in agriculture," Salou synthesised global evidence to reveal both the promises and pitfalls of smart farming—showing that while digital tools can reduce inputs, they also carry hidden costs in energy, e-waste, and infrastructure. This study has already garnered 17 citations, reflecting its timely importance for policymakers and agri-tech developers. Salou’s contributions extend beyond analysis; he has pioneered life-cycle assessment frameworks tailored to digital agriculture, enabling more holistic evaluations of technologies like IoT sensors and AI-driven irrigation. His work is essential reading for anyone seeking to balance innovation with ecological integrity, and he continues to shape how the agricultural sector measures its digital transition.
