Mona Aghabeygi

Mona Aghabeygi is a Researcher at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg, Germany, affiliated with the Working Group 'Impact Assessment of Land Use Changes' under Research Area 3 'Agricultural Landscape Systems'. Her work bridges agricultural economics and sustainable resource management through quantitative analysis.

Her research focuses on Land Use Change, Agricultural Economics, and Soil Management, employing econometric and mathematical programming models to evaluate socio-economic impacts of land policies. Key interests include sustainability frameworks for bioeconomy transitions, food policy analysis, and climate-resilient soil management strategies within agricultural systems.

Dr. Aghabeygi leads critical components of two BMBF-funded projects: the Bona-Res initiative (assessing soils as sustainable bioeconomy resources) and the Soil3-III subproject (developing implementation criteria for subsoil management). Her work directly supports ZALF's mission in addressing agricultural transformation challenges through evidence-based policy analysis.

As part of ZALF's Experimental Infrastructure Platform, she collaborates within interdisciplinary teams tackling global megatrends including climate change adaptation, digitalization in agriculture, and sustainable soil governance. Her research contributes to ZALF's institutional focus on creating science-based solutions for resilient agricultural landscapes.
