The Network Structure of Environmental Justice Social Movements
Comparative Assessment of Environmental Justice Conflicts across Coastal California
Background: Environmental justice (EJ) scholarship and activism have advanced procedural and distributive justice as integral tenets of public policy design and implementation. New attention is being directed toward underemphasized tenets of recognitional and restorative justice. In this article, we introduce a new open-access, living database and interactive mapping tool—the Coastal California EJ Conflicts Database—which facilitates comparative …
Mandatory information-based policy tools facilitate California farmers’ learning about nitrogen management
This article evaluates farmer learning in response to a nitrogen management policy adopted in California. California’s policy features a mandatory information-based approach, particularly education and plan-writing, wherein farmers must report their farm management practices and nitrogen application rates to regional water quality districts. Using survey data from farmers across three regions in California’s Central Valley, we employ a sequential…
A farm systems approach to the adoption of sustainable nitrogen management practices in California
Improving nitrogen (N) fertilizer management in agricultural systems is critical to meeting environmental goals while maintaining economically viable and productive food systems. This paper applies a farm systems framework to analyze how adoption of N management practices is related to different farming operation characteristics and the extent to which fertilizer, soil and irrigation practices are related to each other. We develop a multivariate …
Farmer Participation and Institutional Capture in Common-Pool Resource Governance Reforms. The Case of Groundwater Management in California
Farmers are often critically important to the success of common-pool resource governance reforms. Nevertheless, their participation in these off-farm reform processes has received limited research attention. This paper investigates farmer participation in state-mandated common-pool resource governance. Using groundwater governance in California as a case study, we show that existing social networks, in combination with asymmetries in resource acc…
A comparative analysis of governance and leadership in agricultural development policy networks
Agricultural development initiatives feature many public and private organizations working together across sectors and scales to pursue the goals of food security and climate resilience. Policy networks are considered a crucial ingredient for the learning and cooperation needed to effectively implement agricultural development projects and increase community resiliency, yet very little comparative empirical data has been collected to assess where…
