The agrarian frames that farmers use to construct interpretations of events have been linked to stressors, barriers to care, and actions to navigate stress. In this study, we investigate how they frame the stress process through comparative analysis of interviews with 30 small‐scale farmer informants from three Southern states. Both Black and White respondents share a core, small‐scale agrarian frame that emphasizes the civic autonomy and sense of deprivation related to the scale of their farm operations. Black farmer participants described a racialized Black Agrarian frame overlapping with the small‐scale agrarian frame that centers around Black liberation and institutional racism. Alternatively, White farmers largely omit race from their framing of farm stress. The results enhance our understanding of the intersection among scale, race, and agrarian frames by providing a nuanced view of the relative differences between small‐scale farmers in their shared understandings of financial crises and farm stress. We conclude by highlighting the need for culturally informed mental health interventions and policies tailored to address the stressors and social narratives that characterize racially differentiated farming communities that also acknowledge the shared frame of small‐scale agrarianism.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145609072","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 find that rural communities can provide significant support to residents when caught in legal transgressions, minimizing both trauma and long‐term impacts. But for those who lack resources, whether due to shorter residencies, marginalized race and/or class statuses, or stained local reputations, communities can provide a combination of low support and high visibility that amplifies negative impacts. We highlight the complexity of rural criminal‐legal system involvements and social dynamics that minimize or exacerbate their impacts. We focus on multiple aspects of the postarrest experience for those who have been in rural jails, including external judgments and internalization of stigma; visibility and surveillance that amplify negative impacts; and the roles of intersectional (dis)advantages. We illustrate the ways in which these interlocking internal and external mechanisms serve to reinforce and reproduce existing inequalities, finding that these undertheorized social processes contribute profoundly to dynamics in which communities take care of their better‐off residents while further marginalizing those who are most vulnerable.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145575705","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}

This approach mirrors that of other social scientists who depict poverty as not only the absence of income, but also the inability to live well. Bivariate linear probability models indicate that nonmetropolitan households face substantively greater risks of not securing enough healthy food ( b = 0.026, p < 0.001), living in a poor‐quality housing unit ( b = 0.014, p < 0.05), and experiencing any form of hardship ( b = 0.020, p < 0.05) relative to metropolitan households. However, disparities disappear after accounting for demographic and household characteristics. In the case of bill‐paying hardship, nonmetropolitan households exhibit lower risks of hardship than metropolitan settings in the final models ( b = −0.009, p < 0.05). Decomposition models indicate that lower incomes and elevated prevalence of disability among nonmetropolitan households explain many of the initial disparities evidenced in bivariate models.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145492505","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}

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 mixed‐methods approach, we analyze pathways through which extreme weather may adversely affect farmers' mental health, emphasizing the impact of extreme weather on stress and distress in the U.S. Midwest. Our narrative synthesis of existing literature reveals several pathways linking the impacts of climate change to negative mental health outcomes for farmers, including exposure to chronic stress, the uncertainty and lack of control associated with extreme weather, and the erosion of place and “good farmer” identities. Quantitative analysis of survey data from 837 randomly sampled farmers in Ohio, USA, was used to test findings from our narrative literature review. Results showed a significant association between exposure to extreme weather events and heightened comprehensive stress and psychological distress. More empirical work is needed to test the pathways through which extreme weather may impact farmer mental health and well‐being.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145396854","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}

These strategies have enabled generations of people to cope with, adapt, and overcome diverse forms of adversity. For many semi‐subsistence‐based societies, climate change poses a different threat; one that has rendered some traditional adaptation pathways partially ineffective as natural resources have become less abundant and natural systems more unpredictable. This study presents narratives compiled through ethnography and qualitative research with three rural Indigenous iTaukei communities located on two islands in Fiji. Attributed in part to the prevalence of cultural values centered on relationalism, these communities have retained very effective systems of social resilience; however, losses sustained from almost annual cyclone events and associated landslides and earthquakes are taking their toll on the communities' capacities to recover and re‐establish valued dimensions of social life. This study responds to calls for empirical evidence of the forms and significance of noneconomic loss and damage (NELD) by drawing out gender‐sensitive, relational aspects of loss and damage observed in villagers' narratives.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056697","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}

It emphasizes the role of the state in the financialization of land. This exploratory and descriptive study uses documentary research and social network analysis. The study is supported by strategic action field theory and the sociology of finance. The results reveal significant land ownership concentration in Brazil among large multinational agribusinesses and foreign institutional investors. A significant portion of investment flows in Brazilian land acquisition transactions was of foreign origin. Large agribusiness multinationals and large financial asset managers held prominent structural positions in the network of transactions involving large Brazilian lands. Financialization in the Brazilian agricultural sector can lead to management practices that maximize the interests of companies and financial markets by increasing these actors' control over this important segment of the Brazilian economy. From the perspectives of field theory and the sociology of finance, this study fills a gap in the literature by addressing the expansion of the agricultural market and agribusiness in Brazil as spaces for the reproduction of financial actors and markets. It also emphasizes the role of the state in this process.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056687","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}

While climate security literature typically examines group‐level conflicts, such as between farmers and pastoralists or between ethnic groups, this study shifts the focus to intra‐ and inter‐household dynamics, exploring conflicts experienced by women with spouses, family members, and neighbors. Using life history interviews, the study reveals how climate vulnerabilities, economic hardship, and entrenched gender norms heighten tensions, leading to conflicts both within households and among neighboring women in a rural patriarchal social context. The findings suggest that climate‐induced economic challenges intensify domestic tensions while land scarcity from coastal erosion and resource degradation fuels disputes among neighboring women. The paper underscores addressing the deep‐rooted social norms and institutionalized gender inequalities that deepen women's vulnerabilities to climate impacts in conservative societies like those found in Bangladesh and across large parts of the global South to protect them from violence.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056688","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}

The extent to which this conflict might be resolved depends, in part, on whether farmers and the wider community differ in their degree of concern for the environment. We measured the engagement of farmers and the wider community with biodiversity in New Zealand. We also investigated differences among farmers and the wider community in the antecedents of engagement, such as their involvement and goal intentions with respect to conserving biodiversity. We found that farmers and the wider community were similar in their involvement, cognitive engagement, and affective engagement with conserving biodiversity. Both had similar attitudes towards, and goal intentions regarding, conserving biodiversity, but they differed in their behavioral engagement, their behavior towards biodiversity. We found that farmers were more (not less) behaviorally engaged than the wider community. We concluded that the difference between farmers and the wider community in their behavioral engagement with protecting biodiversity was the product of differences in opportunities and opportunity costs related to such behavior. This has implications for the wider community's perception of farmers' motivations and its judgments about what constitutes “good” farming practice from an environmental perspective.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003148","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}
