圣罗莎的生物物理环境位于动态洪泛平原的边缘，可能是地貌和生态多样性的一个极端例子，因此，与其他一些地方相比，它有更多的多样化机会。然而，在资源管理方面的巨大变化和迅速变化，例如在圣罗莎发生的情况，是现在和过去任何规模的人类群体的相当特点。在世界各地，妇女和男子——富人和穷人，城市、农村和郊区，以及许多不同种族的人——使用资源和对环境产生影响的方式大不相同。没有一个族群的行为和祖先完全一样。正是这种可变性，即“农业多样性”——即使是在最小的尺度上——才是进化变化的本质，也可能是人类未来最佳解决方案的来源。
Perched on the edge of a dynamic floodplain, the biophysical environment of Santa Rosa may offer an extreme example of geomorphic and ecological diversity and, hence, more opportunities for diversification than do some other locales. However, great variety and rapid change in resource management, such as occur in Santa Rosa, are fairly characteristic of human groups of any size, in both the present and the past. Throughout the world, women and men-rich and poor, urban, rural, and suburban, and of many different ethnicities-use resources and generate impacts on their environments in significantly different ways. And no group does it exactly as its ancestors did. It is that variability, that “agrodiversity”-even on the minutest scale-that is the stuff of evolutionary change and may be the source of humanity’s best solutions for the future.
