Evaluating credibility, legitimacy, and salience in a participatory modeling project in the food, energy, water nexus
Credibility, legitimacy, and salience (CLS) in co-producing knowledge are considered critical properties of successful participatory modeling (PM) projects. We use a large PM project focused on projecting alternative futures in the FEW nexus of the US Midwest to assess whether the scenarios, models, and projections had high perceived CLS. Assessments of CLS in PM projects in the context of FEW nexuses are relatively uncommon. Specifically, we exp…
Impacts of Extreme Weather on Farmer Mental Health
Due to high-stress agricultural working environments, farmers are at high risk for mental illness, including anxiety, depression, and suicide. These challenges are exacerbated by rural settings with limited access to mental healthcare and pervasive mental health stigma. An area of increasing interest is how climate change impacts, such as drought, extreme temperatures, and changing seasons, impact farmer mental health and well-being. Utilizing a …
A typology to guide design and assessment of participatory farming research projects
Participatory modes of agricultural research have gained significant attention over the last 40 years. While many scholars and practitioners agree that engaging farmers and other stakeholders is a valuable complement to traditional scientific research, there is significant diversity in the goals and approaches used by participatory projects. Building on previous conceptual frameworks on divergent approaches to participatory farming research (PFR)…
Farm households and the elusiveness of social sustainability: Contrasting the emotional registers of organic and conventional producers
Advancing the scholarship and practice of stakeholder engagement in working landscapes: A co-produced research agenda
Participatory approaches to science and decision making, including stakeholder engagement, are increasingly common for managing complex socio-ecological challenges in working landscapes. However, critical questions about stakeholder engagement in this space remain. These include normative, political, and ethical questions concerning who participates, who benefits and loses, what good can be accomplished, and for what, whom, and by who. First, opp…
Alignment of stakeholder and scientist understandings and expectations in a participatory modeling project
An Inventory and Assessment of Sample Sources for Survey Research with Agricultural Producers in the U.S
Researchers need probability samples to collect representative survey data about the behaviors and attitudes of agricultural producers they study in relation to the natural resources that they manage, yet obtaining accurate and complete sampling frames is challenging. We extract data from a publication database to identify the most commonly used sampling frame sources in survey research of agricultural producers in the U.S., finding that governme…

Implications of Nontraditional Housing Arrangements for Urban Water Management in the United States Intermountain West
Homeowners living in single-family detached housing have dominated the literature exploring drivers of residential water use. Meanwhile, rentals, multiunit buildings, and residences governed by private associations are an increasingly important component of the American residential landscape. We used data from a large sample of households in northern Utah cities to explore the effects of these nontraditional housing arrangements on water use deci…
Impacts of Spatial Patterns of Rural and Exurban Residential Development on Agricultural Trends in the Intermountain West
In recent years, counties in the Intermountain West (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah) have experienced rapid population growth and housing development, and much of this growth is occurring outside of urban areas. Residential development often has negative impacts on farmlands, farm viability, and environmental services provided by working landscapes. We used county-level data to identify the association between the intensity and spati…
Connections and Collaborations of Local Water Management Organizations of Utah
Fragmented water governance arrangements complicate sustainable water management in the western U.S. where local water management organizations (LWMOs), including municipalities and irrigation groups, directly manage water conveyance systems. LWMOs make critical decisions that determine water delivery and management, but have traditionally not collaborated with one another. Our research examines the ways in which LWMOs are increasingly interconne…
Social and Geographic Contexts of Water Concerns in Utah
Public concerns about water issues are key considerations in responding to changing hydrologic conditions. Literature is mixed on the social profiles associated with resource-related risks. Using data from a household survey, we compare concerns about water shortage, climate change impacts on water supply, poor water quality, and flooding. We assess the combined influence of social and locational factors on each concern and variations across thre…

Do the Factors Associated With Female Hiv Infection Vary by Socioeconomic Status in Cameroon?
One of the most consistent findings in social epidemiology is an inverse relationship between indicators of SES and most types of illness. However, a growing body of research on HIV in sub-Saharan Africa suggests an intriguing reversal of this pattern, particularly with respect to HIV among women. In Cameroon, specifically, high-SES women have higher rates of HIV infection compared with low-SES women. Using data from the 2004 Cameroon DHS, this s…
Finding Farms: Comparing Indicators of Farming Dependence and Agricultural Importance in the United States
Many scholars have commented on the changing significance of farming for understanding the dynamics of social and economic change in contemporary rural America. Quantitative analyses of relationships between farming, local socioeconomic conditions, demographic trends, and policy have often relied on an indicator of 'farm-dependent' (FD) counties developed by the USDA Economic Research Service. In this article, we argue that measures of economic d…
Comparative institutions and management resiliency in Latin American small-scale fisheries
Encroachment by commercial fleets on small-scale fishing territories throughout Latin America over the last half-century is increasing inter-sector conflict. Small-scale fishery production is crucial to communities that rely on fish as a key source of protein in daily consumption and for supplying increased demand. As the continued viability of local management is threatened, we need to properly understand under what conditions informal instituti…

Understanding the Multidimensionality of Property Rights Orientations: Evidence from Utah and Texas Ranchers
In the United States, the nature and limits of private property rights have been central themes in natural resource debates over issues such as rural land use control, public and private rangeland management, and endangered species preservation. In most of these debates, private property owners are characterized as favoring strong protection of private property rights and resisting efforts to condition their rights against the interests of societ…
Impacts of Farm Structural Change on Farmers' Social Ties
Many studies have examined how changes in extractive and basic industries affect natural-resource-dependent rural communities. Most of these studies have used aggregate data to explore the impacts of natural resource dependency and change on indicators of economic well-being. However, there are many reasons to believe that changes in the size and structure of natural resource industries also affect the dynamics of social life in these communities…
Social and Ecological Dimensions of the Alternative-Conventional Agricultural Paradigm Scale
This paper is an empirical test of the dimensionality and predictive value of the alternative-conventional agricultural paradigm (ACAP) scale developed by Beus and Dunlap. While recognizing that this scale may be appropriate and useful in studies of the agricultural intelligentsia (agricultural scientists, farm policy makers, organization leaders, and farm people actively following and participating in policy deliberations), our data suggest seve…
Ethnicity and Farm Entry Behavior
The persistence of ethnic traits in both the visible agricultural landscape and the practices of established farmers in the United States has been well documented but not unchallenged. One limitation of most studies is that they have focused on relatively special populations of farmers who could be expected to have unusually strong ethnic identity. It has not been clear that ethnic background could serve as a useful variable in explaining variati…
Understanding the Microdynamics of Farm Structural Change: Entry, Exit, and Restructuring among Wisconsin Family Farmers in the 1980s1
Despite many differences among competing theories of agrarian transformation, all tend to presume that aggregate structural changes are essentially a reflection of changes taking place on individual farms over time. This presumption has been reinforced by a reliance on aggregated county-level census data or cross-sectional surveys of individual farm operations, which unfortunately afford few opportunities to test conventional assumptions about th…
