How we imagine the future of our #foodsystem matters.
Tune in to our latest episode to hear @IrenaKnezevic3 explain how a technological vision of the future of farming excludes small scale farmers, traditional knowledge, & other forms of innovation.
ALT Text over black and white image of tractor in farm field. Text reads: "When we think about digital technologies as the only way forward, what we're setting aside and ignoring are very important issues around the environment, social equity, traditional knowledge, and all sorts of other things that can also offer promising futures, not just for farming, but also how we exist as a society." Irena Knezevic.
