Dr. Jorie Knook serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Land Management and Systems at Lincoln University, New Zealand. Her academic appointments include membership on the Faculty Postgraduate Committee (2023-present) and co-organization of the Early Career Researcher Group (2020-present).
Her research agenda centers on rural change, with specific focus on farmer wellbeing and agroforestry. Employing mixed-methods approaches, she examines both quantitative practice changes and underlying belief systems driving agricultural transitions. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health), 13 (Climate Action), and 15 (Life on Land).
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals strong thematic concentration in agricultural mental health (40% of output), climate adaptation strategies (30%), and agroforestry systems (20%). Notable trends include increasing collaboration with Māori researchers on Aotearoa-specific contexts and methodological innovation in measuring farmer wellbeing.
