Rethinking adaptation interventions in agricultural systems for sustainability
Global policy frameworks have accelerated investments in agricultural adaptation interventions. However, prevailing approaches often conflate adoption intensity with success, overlooking the complex behavioral, structural, and temporal dynamics that shape who can sustain adoptions over time. We synthesize empirical evidence to argue that a narrow focus on adoption in adaptation intervention programs risks exacerbating inequalities in agricultural…
Remittance income weakens participation in community-based natural resource management
While many Global South contexts rely on community-based natural resource management, out-migration has the potential to change rural peoples’ incentives to participate in such management. We argue that remittance income from out-migration reduces dependence on natural resource commons, which may in turn weaken the voluntary participation upon which community-based natural resource management initiatives depend. We studied this relationship empir…
Social networks and transformative behaviours in a grassland social‐ecological system
Social connections among individuals are essential components of social‐ecological systems (SESs), enabling people to take actions to more effectively adapt or transform in response to widespread social‐ecological change. Although scholars have associated social connections and cognitions with adaptive capacity, measuring actors' social networks may further clarify pathways for bolstering resilience‐enhancing actions. We asked how social networks…
Social inequalities shape climate change adaptation among Indian farmers
Agricultural technologies are vital for farmers adapting to climate change. However, while efforts have focused on improving access and initial adoption, little attention has been given to social disparities in rates of adoption and the benefits derived from these technologies. Our study investigates the adoption of groundwater irrigation technology in India, a transformative innovation that has historically enhanced productivity and food securit…
Institutional fit and policy design in water governance
The extent to which rules in a governing arrangement addresses its local conditions is usually defined in the environmental governance literature as the problem of fit. Actors in governing arrangements with decision‐making authority are capable of choosing and designing specific policy tools in order to address specific policy problems. In this manuscript, we combine insights from the literature on policy design and the literature on common‐pool …
Understanding the effects of institutional diversity on irrigation systems dynamics
Assessing the institutional foundations of adaptive water governance in South India

Sustaining Coupled Irrigation Infrastructures
Mapping Ostrom’s common-pool resource systems coding handbook to the coupled infrastructure systems framework to enable comparative research
In the study of common-pool resource (CPR) governance, frame- works provide a metatheoretical language to describe system states, dynamics, elements, and relationships. The coding manuals which accompany CPR frame- works–in addition to providing guidelines for connecting empirical case work to conceptual variables–define a vocabulary of coding questions. For empirical work, connecting variables and coding questions with framework elements con- tr…
