About

Silvana Dalmutt Krüger is a researcher focused on the intersection of agricultural innovation, financial feasibility, and technology adoption in dairy farming. Her work centers on Agribusiness 4.0, particularly the economic and operational implications of robotic milking systems. Krüger’s major contributions include developing methodologies for selecting robotic milking technologies, as demonstrated in her 2024 study using the Analytic Hierarchy Process to guide investment decisions. Her 2022 paper on the financial feasibility of robotic milking, with 4 citations, provides a practical case study from western Santa Catarina, Brazil, offering cost measurement frameworks for farmers. Though her citation counts are modest, her research is notable for its applied, qualitative approach—using semi-structured interviews and descriptive case studies to bridge the gap between cutting-edge automation and real-world agricultural practice. Krüger’s work is particularly valuable for students and researchers in agribusiness, rural economics, and technology adoption, as it addresses the critical challenge of making high-tech dairy solutions financially viable for small to medium-sized farms. Her focus on decision-support tools and feasibility analysis positions her as a practical voice in the evolving field of precision agriculture.
