چکیده
Abstract Farmers are front-line workers managing climatic change. As in many parts of the world, climate change northern California is threatening natural resource-dependent communities by exacerbating droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires. This article draws on ethnographic methods, including 108 interviews with crop livestock farmers key informants, to query experience, belief, response rural northeastern California. I find that recognize describe changes match meteorologic evidence anthropogenic change, but attribute these weather cycles harsh geographies. However, irrespective their belief implement adaptations—many practices mitigation co-benefits, bolstering growing action not tightly coupled. To accelerate farmer adaptation, this work suggests policy programming focus actions outcomes, rather than reshaping belief.
