Elizabeth Creak Chair in Sustainable Agricultural Change, Harper Adams University.
From Ayorinde Ogunyiola Maaz Gardezi Ryan Stock "Precision Agriculture raises critical social questions that have implications for farmers’ autonomy and control over agrarian production systems. We critically examine the social consequences of PA through the theoretical lenses of accumulation by dispossession and the agrarian question of labor. We use data from six focus group discussions conducted during the Fall of 2019 in heterogeneous production systems in South Dakota and Vermont. We assert that agritech firms design PA technologies as accumulation strategies predicated on the dispossession of farmers’ autonomy and control over agrarian production systems. As such, PA is fundamentally reconfiguring the future of agrarian labor in the US food system." https://lnkd.in/eqbzS6TT
