About the Role
This project focuses on investigating beef producers’ incentives to adopt strategies aimed at achieving net zero (i.e. achieving emission levels close to zero). This involves analysing a range of drivers of farmer behaviour including economic, political, sociodemographic, and sociopsychological drivers, among others. Using the structural equation modelling approach, the student will identify what factors explain these incentives, information that will be used to propose ways to induce beef producers to adopt beneficial strategies to mitigate any negative effects from beef production on the environment. Building from this developed understanding, the student would then look to work with farmers and advisors to develop a decision support framework. This research will blend literature analysis, theoretical study, modelling and empirical analysis, contributing valuable insights into the world of farmers’ decision making and its significance for the future of our planet.
