This study examines the potential for and presence of deliberate transformation of agricultural systems in the U.S. Southwest as farmers face increased challenges as a result of climate change. It focuses specifically on the decisions of farmers in four counties in southern and eastern New Mexico, locations where recent drought provides a useful proxy of conditions expected with future climate change. In contrast to much of the literature on the adaptation of agriculture to climate change, this study seeks to understand the ways in which social, economic, political, as well as climate parameters shape the ways that farmers make decisions when faced with on-going changes in the system in which they work. In tracing farmer narratives of the influences of their agricultural networks on their decision-making, this study finds that there are substantial barriers to transformation in the political economy of agriculture in the U.S. Southwest. Barriers include economic and institutional arrangements that tend to limit the options of farmers who do not have the land resources to achieve economies of scale. Barriers also include farmer narratives that emphasize the limitations built into the economic and institutional context while playing down farmer agency. Farmer narratives often replay conservative rhetoric about government support for farms and labor in a way that inhibits the ability of farmers to advocate for policies that would better support their farm systems. Nonetheless, the study also finds that farmers whose networks and narratives are shaped in substantial ways by noncapitalist goals, goals centered in matters of care for both the human and non-human organisms that make up the larger agricultural system, are able to undertake transformation on their farms. That transformation also sometimes extends in limited but significant ways to a broader local community.

How did agriculture come about in the American Southwest? What environmental and social factors led to the cultivation of plants? How, in turn, did the use of these new agricultural products affect the ancient peoples living in the region? In pursuit of answers to these questions, Barbara Roth synthesizes data from both CRM and academic research to explore the emergence and impact of Southwestern agriculture. Roth examines agricultural beginnings across the entire Southwest, both northern and southern, and across culture groups residing there. Beyond simply addressing the arrival and widespread adoption of specific cultigens, she pays particular attention to human factors such as patterns of production andvariability in agricultural developments. Her consideration of broad social and environmental dynamics affecting forager diets and adaptive strategies sheds new light on what we know—and what we should ask—about the transition fromforaging to farming.
