Climate Policy Progression
Climate Action Plans (CAPs) are important tools for translating climate plans into actions. As many U.S. cities are developing their second round of CAPs, it is essential to consider how and why a city's CAP objectives may change over time, given local political contexts. To examine these changes, we selected 11 large U.S. cities that have two rounds of CAPs and analyzed both CAPs through keyword and qualitative analysis, utilizing a multiple wit…
Groundwater recharge as an adaptive response to flood events in the San Joaquin Valley, California
Groundwater is a critical resource for both nature and society, yet aquifers are rapidly depleting globally. This includes the southern San Joaquin Valley, California, a productive agricultural region that suffers from drought. However, in spring 2023, the region experienced record-breaking precipitation. Managed aquifer recharge (MAR), groundwater recharge and storage via human-made processes, is a possible adaptive response to extreme events. W…
Identifying producer perspectives on groundwater management and repurposed land strategies in Kern County, California
California's San Joaquin Valley is a major agricultural region, but its reliance on irrigated farming has caused severe groundwater overdraft, leading to land subsidence and potential seismic risks. To address this, the 2014 Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) aims to achieve groundwater sustainability by 2040. Compliance with SGMA is expected to remove significant land from production, prompting efforts to repurpose former farmland for…
Weathering the storm
Fluctuations in extreme weather such as a shift from an extreme dry to an extreme wet year, termed hydroclimate volatility or precipitation whiplash, present potential challenges and opportunities for agricultural production in water-limited regions. Yet, whether the sudden profusion of precipitation or the presence of flooding has a net positive or negative impact on agricultural production, particularly agricultural pests, is understudied. Usin…

Climate change adaptation through agroforestry
This review highlights the current state of knowledge about the socioeconomic and biophysical role of agroforestry for climate change adaptation, identifies three knowledge gaps, and discusses the role of agroforestry in adaptation policy processes. Recent scholarship has focused on biophysical modeling of agroforestry’s ability to buffer crops from climate extremes, and farmer perspectives of biophysical benefits. Socioeconomic scholarship exami…
Livelihood Resilience and Global Environmental Change
Resilience thinking is a common component in the planning and implementation of interventions in humanitarian activities, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and food security. Attention to the concept of livelihood resilience specifically has grown in these sectors in order to improve households’ resilience to the impacts of climate change and other shocks. However, resilience is difficult to empirically measure and commonly-used…
Work-Life Stress during the Coronavirus Pandemic among Latina Farmworkers in a Rural California Region
Latina farmworkers have unique health and safety needs, and COVID-19 has contributed to the experienced stressors. Understanding the familial and working environment sources of stress specific to female agriculture workers is imperative to implementing culturally and gender-responsive strategies to better support the health and safety of farming populations in future pandemics
Occupational Stressors and Access to Covid-19 Resources among Commuting and Residential Hispanic/Latino Farmworkers in a US-Mexico Border Region
Hispanic/Latino and migrant workers experience high degrees of occupational stress, constitute most of California's agricultural workforce, and were among the most impacted populations by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, relatively little is known about the occupational stress experienced by farmworkers who commute daily between the US and Mexico. Occupational stress is considered an imbalance between the demands at work and the capabilities to re…
We left the crop there lying in the field”
California agricultural workers are predominately Latino/a, are medically underserved, and reside in larger households, placing them at elevated COVID-19 risk at work and at home. While some research has examined COVID-19 among agricultural workers in the interior of the United States, little research exists on experiences of COVID-19 along the US-Mexico border. Grounded in resilience thinking, this study aims to understand how agricultural worke…
Coping with drought
Globally, drought impacts more people than any other natural hazard. However, drought is also the most complex natural hazard, and its impacts are not evenly distributed across the landscape or among human populations. Just as the impacts of drought vary, so do the coping strategies used by people during drought. The research to-date on drought coping strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa are highly quantitative, focused on top-down interventions, and…
Agroforestry trees for improved food security on farms impacted by wildlife crop raiding in Kenya
Human-wildlife conflicts are a threat to livelihoods throughout Africa, including Kenya. A major source of human-wildlife conflict is crop raiding, which can seriously impact livelihoods and household food security through crop destruction and income loss. This novel research study explores the role of agroforestry trees as one strategy that may improve food security for farmers experiencing wildlife crop raiding. This study draws on household su…
Drought
This chapter discusses how drought is defined and measured, the drivers of drought, how drought affects people with different livelihoods and how drought is differently perceived. It explains how the study of drought articulates with current research on human/environmental relationships and resilience theory. The recognition of climate change and the increased emphasis on the incidence, severity, and cost of natural hazards, especially in the Uni…

The role of agroforestry in building livelihood resilience to floods and drought in semiarid Kenya
Quandt, A., H. Neufeldt, and J. T. McCabe. 2017. The role of agroforestry in building livelihood resilience to floods and drought in semiarid Kenya. Ecology and Society 22(3):10. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09461-220310
Farmers and Forest Conservation
Critical biodiversity areas are being converted into cropland to feed a growing global population. One solution to this problem is the highly debated land sparing hypothesis, which promotes agricultural intensification on farms to abate conversion of “wild nature.” However, food is not the only valuable farm product; trees on farms provide timber and firewood. This study presents empirical evidence from Barjomot, Tanzania, to ask: Does it make se…
