About

Wanda Jarosz is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of sustainable agriculture and rural development, with a focused expertise in the adoption of precision weeding technologies. Her major contribution lies in pioneering the socio-economic analysis of high-power laser weeding, a novel eco-friendly alternative to chemical herbicides. Through her most-cited works, including "Potential of Eco-Weeding with High-Power Laser Adoption from the Farmers’ Perspective" (2024, 5 citations) and its companion study (4 citations), Jarosz provides critical insights into how European farmers perceive and might embrace this technology. She bridges the gap between engineering innovation and on-the-ground reality, examining the economic, social, and environmental challenges facing rural regions in the EU’s green transition. Her research is notable for centering the farmer’s perspective, making her work essential for policymakers and agri-tech developers aiming to scale sustainable weeding solutions. With a growing citation footprint, Jarosz is establishing herself as a key voice in the shift toward laser-based, chemical-free agriculture, helping to shape a future where rural communities actively participate in ecological modernization.
