Mohammad Mohammadrezaei
Research Officer – Social/Behavioural ScienceResearch Interests
Dr. Mohammad Mohammadrezaei is a Social and Behavioural Science Research Officer in the Agri-Food Business and Spatial Analysis Department at the Teagasc Climate Centre. His research focuses on applying multi-actor behavioural studies using mixed research methods to understand decision-making dynamics related to adaptation and mitigation strategies.
His interests lie in using mixed methods to analyse and model farmers' and other key actors’ (within AKIS) behaviour change regarding the adoption of adaptation and mitigation practices. Co-designing and evaluating the impact of community-based behavioural change interventions, providing recommendations to accelerate the translation of policy into farm-level action.
He has shared his research findings with a wider audience through publications in peer-reviewed journals, technical reports, working papers, presentations at national and international conferences, and press releases.
