“…It was seen, in line with other research (e.g. Price and Evans 2009), that men had a deep sense of autobiographical attachment in relation to their former farms stemming, often, from a long familial history on the farm as well as spending most of their working life in that same locality. Retirement relocation served to disjoint this trajectory and several references Retirement adjustment amongst farming couples 773 were given to the emotional challenge of 'ending the line there' (5M) and the responsibility they felt in being the one who had 'put an end to the years of hard work that had gone on' (11M).…”

“…Again, the existing work from cultural rural studies is informative here, pointing to gender differences at the intersections of physical and social insideness and illustrating how such socialisation, on family farms, occurs both on the farm and within the farming neighbourhood (Price 2010). In discussing the geographies of such socialisation in family farming, Price and Evans (2009) use the term 'spatial containment' (after Hanson and Pratt 1995) to articulate the way that work and wider community involvement are often spatially restricted in order that farming men and women are able to complete their daily tasks and routines on the farm. At one level, therefore, farming neighbours are often seen as important sources of help and social Retirement adjustment amongst farming couples 763 support.…”

“…Although autobiographical insideness has not been explicitly considered in relation to relocating away from family farms, extant research on agricultural and rural restructuring is informative. In discussing wider rural change, it has been noted that farming cultures within rural communities may be under threat (Little 2002;Price and Evans 2009). In their study in midWest America, Ramirez-Ferrero (2005) noted the stress caused to farmers by agricultural restructuring, noting how the challenge to their position in the family farm history and farming culture of their region, whilst a consideration of farm farming in the UK, found that 'for many men, losing their "home", with all its connotations, would be tantamount to losing their identity and acutely distressing' (Price and Evans 2009: 6).…”

‘Moving on’? Exploring the geographies of retirement adjustment amongst farming couples

Retirement is a life transition that has been relatively underexplored by geographers. In particular, mirroring other areas of academic and policy research, studies on retirement transitions and post-retirement experiences have been relatively sparse. Drawing on case studies from research in Hampshire and West Sussex (UK), this paper considers the challenges and issues surrounding the occupational cessation and retirement relocation of former farming couples. Utilising in-depth interviews, the paper explores how work-life histories may serve to intricately shape the geographies of retirement. It is seen that whilst family farming provided a shared occupation for couples, the respective gender(ed) roles and associated positionings in relation to farming served to differentially shape respective partner's experiences of, and adjustment to, retirement. In focusing on post-retirement experiences, the paper advocates a more temporally relational understanding of the geographies of older age which recognises how past places and identities are drawn upon in developing a sense of physical, social and autobiographical insideness in retirement spaces.

“…Similarly, Powys on the Welsh side of the border has 96% of its region classified as a Less Favoured Area (LFA), with 86% of the county area being 'severely disadvantaged' LFA (Price and Evans, 2009). Issues such as declining farm (and allied trade) incomes, decreasing rural employment opportunities, limited public transport services and poor access to information technology and education have impacted upon the settlement patterns in the three counties that show a bias in favour of market towns.…”

Identifying thresholds and barriers to adaptation through measuring climate sensitivity and capacity to change in an Australian primary industry

Primary producers, including graziers, crop farmers and commercial fishers are especially vulnerable to climate change because they depend on highly climate-sensitive natural resources. Adaptation to climate change will make a major difference to the severity of the impacts experienced. However, individuals (resource users) can erect sometimes seemingly peculiar barriers to potential adaptation options that need to be addressed if adaptation is to be effective. Our aim was to understand the nature of barriers to change for cattle graziers in the northern Australian rangelands. We conceptualised barriers as adverse reactions where resource users are unlikely to contemplate adaptations that threaten core values or perceptions about themselves. We assumed that resource users that were more sensitive to climate change impacts-or more dependent on the resource-were more proximate to thresholds of coping and thus more likely to erect barriers, especially people with little adaptive capacity. Given that climate sensitivity and adaptive capacity are important components of vulnerability, our approach was to conduct a vulnerability assessment to identify potential but important barriers to change. Data from 240 graziers suggest that graziers in northern Australia might be especially vulnerable to climate change because their identity, place attachment, low employability, weak networks and dependents can make them sensitive to change, and their sensitivity can be compounded by a low adaptive capacity. We argue that greater attention needs to be placed on the social context of climate change impacts and on the processes shaping vulnerability and adaptation, especially at the scale of the individual.
