Climate Change and Societal Response: Livelihoods, Communities, and the Environment
Climate change may be considered a natural disaster evolving in slow motion on a global scale. Increasing storm intensities, shifting rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and other manifold alterations are being experienced around the world. Climate has never been constant in any location, but human-induced changes associated with greenhouse gases and fossil fuel use are new and rapidly shifting conditions for rural communities…
Food Pantries and the Populations They Serve: Strange Bedfellows or Strategic Partners
Although it is often assumed that food pantries are managed by middle-class directors whose social background differs significantly from that of their target populations, no systematic empirical evidence concerning this issue exists to date. Moreover, scholarship has yet to explore the extent to which the presumably distinctive social positions of pantry directors and clients might result in the stigmatization of poverty, social welfare programs,…
Private Food Assistance in the Deep South: Assessing Agency Directors' Knowledge of Charitable Choice
In recent years,food banking has emerged as an important tool in America's fight against hunger and malnutrition. At the same time, the charitable choice provision of 1996 welfare reform law has significantly expanded the opportunity for public-private partnerships in the provision of social services. Given the new opportunities ushered in by this legislation, this study examines the knowledge that food pantry directors in Alabama and Mississippi…
Private Food Assistance in a Small Metropolitan Area: Urban Resources and Rural Needs
Food banks and other private feeding programs have become an institutionalized component of the social welfare system in over 190 urban areas in the U.S. More recently, private food assistance has gained importance in rural areas as well. The density and capacity of agencies to serve the poor is higher in urban areas than in sparsely populated rural locales where distance and dispersal tend to be barriers to supplying and accessing donated food. …

Agricultural Change: Consequences for Southern Farms and Rural Communities
Cooperatively Managed Projects and Rapid Assessment: Suggestions from a Panamanian Case
There are occasions when development personnel must rapidly select community sites for a project. This creates a need for valid, concrete and low cost (in terms of time, personnel and resources) rapid assessment methods which should also be unobtrusive to avoid hurting the interests and feelings of groups being considered for the project. This paper suggests that a community service assessment technique can serve the purposes of rapid assessment,…

Integrated Aquacultural Development: Sociological Issues in the Cooperative Management of Community Fishponds
Group farming is an approach to aquacultural development where a relatively small number of individuals or families elect to produce fish as a collectively adopted activity. Cooperatively managed farm enterprises depend on various coordination mechanisms to initiate and sustain the production process. The paper examines selected structural and situational factors that affect decision making and continued operation of community-managed fish ponds.…

Organizational Effectiveness: An Empirical Comparision of the Goal and System Resource Approaches
The goal and system resource approaches represent alternative conceptions of organizational effectiveness. The goal approach views effectiveness in terms of internal organizational objectives and performance. Organization-environment relations are the focus of the system resource approach, though previous applications of this perspective have been limited to profit-making organizations. This paper reconceptualizes the system resource approach for…
