Yet with droughts and wildfires becoming more severe, farmers have little choice but to respond. Margiana Petersen-Rockney offers a vivid account of how farmers manage the impacts and politics of climate adaptation in agricultural America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on richly textured data from more than seven years of research in Northern California, Petersen-Rockney explores prevailing narratives of farmers as resistant to change, reorienting environmental policy scholarship and illuminating opportunities to increase the pace and scale of climate action. This is the first book to examine how farmers and the communities and public staff who support them navigate this contested terrain, and how climate adaptation decisions affect their livelihoods, families, communities, and the climate itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargiana Petersen-Rockney\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Montana.
