Book Synopsis Agricultural Beginnings in the American Southwest by : Barbara J. Roth
Download or read book Agricultural Beginnings in the American Southwest written by Barbara J. Roth and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Farming in the Southwest by : Catherine Teresa Day
Download or read book Farming in the Southwest written by Catherine Teresa Day and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Traditional Arid Lands Agriculture by : Scott E. Ingram
Download or read book Traditional Arid Lands Agriculture written by Scott E. Ingram and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional Arid Lands Agriculture is the first of its kind. Each chapter considers four questions: what we don’t know about specific aspects of traditional agriculture, why we need to know more, how we can know more, and what research questions can be pursued to know more. What is known is presented to provide context for what is unknown. Traditional agriculture, nonindustrial plant cultivation for human use, is practiced worldwide by millions of smallholder farmers in arid lands. Advancing an understanding of traditional agriculture can improve its practice and contribute to understanding the past. Traditional agriculture has been practiced in the U.S. Southwest and northwest Mexico for at least four thousand years and intensely studied for at least one hundred years. What is not known or well-understood about traditional arid lands agriculture in this region has broad application for research, policy, and agricultural practices in arid lands worldwide. The authors represent the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, agronomy, art, botany, geomorphology, paleoclimatology, and pedology. This multidisciplinary book will engage students, practitioners, scholars, and any interested in understanding and advancing traditional agriculture.

Book Synopsis Water Histories and Spatial Archaeology by : Michael J. Harrower
Download or read book Water Histories and Spatial Archaeology written by Michael J. Harrower and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new interpretation of the spatial-political-environmental dynamics of water and irrigation in long-term histories of arid regions. It compares ancient Southwest Arabia (3500 BC–AD 600) with the American West (2000 BC–AD 1950) in global context to illustrate similarities and differences among environmental, cultural, political, and religious dynamics of water. It combines archaeological exploration and field studies of farming in Yemen with social theory and spatial technologies, including satellite imagery, Global Positioning System (GPS), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping. In both ancient Yemen and the American West, agricultural production focused not where rain-fed agriculture was possible, but in hyper-arid areas where massive state-constructed irrigation schemes politically and ideologically validated state sovereignty. While shaped by profound differences and contingencies, ancient Yemen and the American West are mutually informative in clarifying human geographies of water that are important to understandings of America, Arabia, and contemporary conflicts between civilizations deemed East and West.
