Because rural residents historically have lower rates of broadband internet access, they may have been less likely to conduct activities online than their urban counterparts, reflecting geographic digital inequalities. We examine whether residents of rural areas are less likely than residents of urban areas to have internet access, conduct various activities online, and use videoconferencing software during the COVID‐19 pandemic using a probability survey of Nebraskans conducted in late 2020. We find that rural residents were less likely to have broadband internet access, a pattern that persists after accounting for characteristics of the residents. We also find that rural residents were less likely than their more urban counterparts to order food and groceries online, to stream movies or TV, or to use video conferencing for work and medical care, reflecting likely infrastructure differences in rural areas. Rural residents were also less likely to engage in online education activities, play games online, use social media, or use video conferencing to stay in touch with friends and family, but these geographic differences were explained by resident characteristics, suggesting that these differences in behaviors may be due to preference rather than lacking infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144577682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We interviewed residents of four remote and rural areas of the UK about their food shopping habits and their purchase of local foods. Using theoretical resources from social science literature on food shopping, alternative food networks, and resilience to identify the influence of daily routine on rural food shopping practices, the importance of local retailers, the limited availability of locally produced foods, and the distinct nature of remote and rural households' food and shopping practices. Our findings illustrate the greater fragility of these rural food systems, the challenges faced by residents of these communities who can be unusually dependent on long and sometimes unreliable supermarket supply chains for the bulk of their food purchases, and the ‘buffering’ practices that they adopt to guard against possible food shortages. We argue that these practices can be considered as a form of care for both individuals and communities, but that, on their own, they cannot fully address this fragility. Initiatives to support shorter supply chains could improve the resilience of rural food systems but would require investment in infrastructure such as abattoirs, market spaces, and polytunnels in order to increase production, meet existing demand for locally produced food, and keep that food within these areas for local consumers.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144237378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We operationalize this distance as high, medium, and low based on leaders' connection to low‐income residents, knowledge of their livelihood strategies, and belief in culture of poverty rhetoric. High social distance leaders tend not to know any low‐income residents personally, know little about how they make ends meet, and rely upon culture of poverty explanations in discussions about them. Medium social distance leaders may have occasional interactions with low‐income residents or may have close personal ties with someone who does, tend to have some knowledge of how low‐income residents make ends meet, and use a combination of cultural and structural explanations when discussing poverty in Green Glen. Low social distance leaders have frequent interactions with low‐income residents, know a great deal about how they make ends meet, and point to local and national economic conditions that negatively impact the low‐income residents of the community. The amount of social distance may directly and indirectly impact low‐income community members' available resources and ability to make ends meet.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143902919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on interviews with 21 parents who reside in a predominantly conservative, rural community in Northern Appalachia, this study uses an identity‐based model of culture in action to analyze how political minority parents maintained their identity during the 2020 presidential election despite facing conflict in the community and their families. I found that political minorities coped with the nonverification of their political identities in the community by using the local college as a resource for political action, local power, and their children's socialization. I argue that political minorities maintained their identities by framing their group as superior to the Republican majority in the community by highlighting their higher status, access to cultural capital, and values associated with their partisan social identity. Within families, however, responses to political disagreements diverged. While some maintained their partisan identities, others adopted a moderate stance. Moderates relied on cultural skills to frame political differences as a matter of tolerance, independence, choice, and separation of morality from political identity. Partisans used their cultural skills to frame political differences as a matter of protecting children from moral harm. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the coping strategies that political minorities use to negotiate family, community, and political identity amidst increasing political division and geographic sorting.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143813506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent scholarship has identified social capital as an important piece of the adoption puzzle. However, the ways in which farmers' social capital influences conservation practice use are seldom identified or explored. In this study, we tested the effects of three measures of social capital on the adoption of no‐till among 1,523 row crop farmers in the United States Corn Belt. Specifically, we operationalized the extent to which farmers' social networks, network trust, and community conservation norms affect intra‐individual processes and thus influence farmers' decisions regarding adoption. Our results identified key mechanisms for the promotion of conservation practices through social capital. Subjective conservation norms emerged as a main pathway through which farmers' social capital influenced their use of no‐till, indicating that networks, network trust, and community norms can increase adoption through affective paths. We conclude that academic research and policy experts should continue to situate farmers as social actors and pay heed to the norms and cultural expectations surrounding agricultural conservation practices.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143607765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
