Gerhard Moitzi

Dipl.-Ing.Dr.nat.techn. Gerhard Moitzi is a researcher at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU Vienna), specifically affiliated with the Experimental Farm Groß-Enzersdorf and the Institute of Agricultural Engineering. His work focuses on agricultural engineering, soil compaction mitigation, and energy efficiency in farming practices.

With a career spanning over two decades, Moitzi has contributed to understanding soil tillage systems, field traffic-induced compaction, and carbon sequestration in agricultural soils. He has led multiple research projects funded by the European Commission, Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), and Federal Ministries, including studies on CO2 emissions and ammonia mitigation in farming contexts.

His recent publications (2023-2025) highlight innovations in soil compaction analysis, drone-based crop monitoring, and sustainable nitrogen management. Moitzi employs multispectral imaging, machine learning, and life cycle assessment to evaluate agricultural impacts. He actively participates in international conferences like ALVA Jahrestagung and EGU General Assembly, emphasizing climate-resilient farming and precision agriculture.
