This paper takes the UK as a case study and explores farmers' willingness to engage with a dynamic and evolving market, based on their access to information, confidence in carbon developers' and investors' positive market sentiment, and expectations as regards the growth and development trajectory of the market. Data for this study were collected through key informant interviews with 24 farmers across England. Results suggest farmers are reluctant to engage with the market as discourse has become polarised, with the amplification of certain positions and perspectives making it difficult to decode and evaluate the messaging received. This paper generates important insights regarding the role of information in shaping the market and the extent to which a polarised discourse is undermining farmers' willingness to engage with the market. Moreover, it outlines how policymakers and practitioners could ‘unlock’ the potential of the market by enhancing the availability of, access to, and exchange of credible, context-appropriate market-related information. This will ensure farmers are able to make informed decisions as regards the market and reduce the likelihood that an avoidable information void stymies long-term market growth and development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103861"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144925305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet agriculture practices such as fertilizer use and large-scale hog farms threaten water quality and public health. Rural newspapers, a primary source of information that guides residents in their decision-making including how they act in response to water threats, could be influential in encouraging readers to address local climate change threats. Yet we do not generally know how rural and local newspapers perform when reporting on environmental issues. We argue that rural-urban information disparities extend to the manner in which local newspapers deliver water quality information to rural audiences. Thus, we systematically examined how newspaper publications representing rural and urban areas in five similarly situated Midwestern states framed and sourced their water quality and water pollution reporting. The content analysis results found that water quality was primarily framed from a responsibility perspective emphasizing who should be responsible for protecting waterways, and residents living in smaller and rural areas mostly received environmental news based on information provided by local and state governmental sources. We found urban newspapers were more likely to present water pollution stories employing a greater diversity of frames - including more conflict frames - than rural papers. This study makes three important contributions by 1) adding to the scarce amount of scholarship on the state of environmental rural news information, 2) theoretically linking local news coverage as an information disparity, and 3) creating an agricultural frame variable to explain rural environmental news coverage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103862"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144920077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we argue that regulatory and policy regimes also matter in shaping counterurbanisation processes and outcomes. In other words, ‘counterurbanisation as practice’ intersects with the <em>governance of counterurbanisation</em>. We examine this theme through exploring the role of land-use planning in relation to regulating rural housing supply that enables or constrains counterurbanisation movements, drawing on Ireland as a case study. Utilising data from development plans, planning applications and a household survey, we evaluate the role of the planning system in identifying ‘where’ counterurbanisation is more likely to be accommodated through new development and in applying criteria in relation to ‘who’ is permitted to build a new rural property, including a range of social and economic criteria to determine an intrinsic need to live in a rural locality. This results in a group we identify as ‘familiar counterurbanisers’. We argue that rural housing policies have been constructed around a counterurbanisation narrative, resulting in policies that privilege selective pathways for counterurbanisers moving to rural localities, specifically for those with a pre-existing connection to rural places (e.g. family links, return migrants).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103868"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144920175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It draws on in-depth interviews conducted in Canada, USA, Switzerland and France within a profession that is overwhelmingly White, cis-gender, hetero, and male. Psychological safety was defined by research participants as feeling safe enough to show one’s full self and to speak up when feeling unsafe due to either mountain or human-caused hazards based on the principles of trust, interconnection, and reciprocity within a group. Factors that supported psychological safety were (in order of strength in the data) vulnerability, teamwork, physical safety, and gender diversity. Psychological risk in relation to human-caused hazards was found to significantly affect physical safety from mountain hazards for both members of the profession and their clients. Human-caused hazards in the profession include exclusion, harassment, and discrimination based on identity factors, such as stigma related to trauma or mental health challenges, racism, ableism, sexism, misogyny. The study revealed that while significant work remains to be done to ensure psychological safety within the avalanche and guiding profession, there is also much to celebrate. Human-caused hazards are entirely dependent on human choice, and are determined by human agency. Members of non-dominant groups demonstrated their abilities to carve out psychologically safe-enough spaces to be able to thrive with authenticity within a competitive, hierarchical and hyper-masculine professional culture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103834"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144913556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined (1) the psychosocial and occupational determinants of depression and anxiety among Haitian and Hispanic farmworkers in rural Florida and (2) the role of social isolation as a mediator in these relationships. Using a community-based participatory cross-sectional design, we interviewed 161 farmworkers (80 Hispanic, 81 Haitian) from four rural agricultural communities in Florida. Regression analyses assessed associations between stressors and mental well-being, while mediation analysis using Baron and Kenny's framework with bootstrapping tested whether social isolation mediated these effects, controlling for age, gender, education, and number of dependents. Findings showed that a stressful migration journey strongly predicted Haitian farmworker depression and anxiety, while secondary non-agricultural employment increased anxiety through heightened social isolation. In contrast, migration journey stress was not significantly linked to mental well-being, while holding a secondary job reduced anxiety by lowering social isolation for Hispanic farmworkers. Limited English fluency had no effect on Haitians but significantly increased anxiety among Hispanics through social isolation. Workplace mistreatment based on race/ethnicity and gender strongly predicted depression and anxiety in both groups. Social isolation mediated these effects. These findings highlight the need for tailored interventions that address ethnic differences in risk factors that may improve access to culturally competent mental health services, mitigate workplace mistreatment, and foster social integration. As immigration policies become more restrictive, it is crucial to continue reducing social isolation and addressing mental health disparities among farmworkers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103849"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144913558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet their potential to influence agricultural policies and practices remains undervalued. Drawing on focus group discussions with farmer groups in northern Uganda, we examine how their routine collective practices function as critical mechanisms for cultivating viable but often overlooked social, economic, and ecological alternatives. These groups create structures for contesting dominant agrarian ideologies and arenas for advancing smallholder-friendly agricultural practices. Using the theoretical lens of everyday forms of politics, our analysis shows how farmer-led activities such as community seed banks, farmer field schools, and village savings and loan associations reflect both resistance to neoliberal paradigms that favour market-driven growth, and aspirations for alternative agrarian futures centered on social equity and ecological sustainability. The latter materializes in advancing agricultural visions that are more socially just, economically inclusive, and ecologically resilient. Although we frame these actions as subtle expressions of political agency, they clearly embody latent potential to catalyze more explicit forms of politicisation within agricultural transformation. However, continued reliance on external actors, particularly non-governmental organisations, risks eroding the long-term autonomy and sustainability of these initiatives. Enhancing internal leadership and grassroots capacity is therefore critical to securing the self-determination and resilience of farmer-led efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103859"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144894766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By developing a hybrid Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study integrates socio-economic factors influencing MAES adoption, including constructs such as personal innovativeness, technology familiarity, and economic motivation to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the behavioral drivers of technology uptake. Findings highlight that, in low-experience environments where traditional livelihoods intersect with rapidly developing scientific and technical infrastructure, farmers' adoption of MAES is influenced more by interest, familiarity and perceived economic benefits than by perceived ease of use or usefulness alone. This suggests that social networks, cultural perceptions of technology, and rural economic structures play a significant role in shaping adoption patterns.
