| الملخص: | Digital agriculture—encompassing drones, connected tractors, smart agriculture technologies, etc.—is presented as a solution to global food security and climate challenges. Such promises are supported by the same agricultural equipment policies that, from the 1950s onward, contributed to the concentration of farms and the intensification of production. Nevertheless, agrarian machinery remains a relatively underinvestigated area in the social sciences.Who are the economic and professional organisations, and what are the policies and drivers promoting such capital-intensive, fossil fuels-consuming technologies? What are their effects on agricultural labour and environmental impacts?This book explores historical, sociological and anthropological perspectives to highlight how agricultural equipment acts as a sociotechnical lock-in, which constrains agricultural trajectories, contributes to the environmental footprint of agriculture, and limits farmers’ technical autonomy and their ability to embrace agroecological modes of production |
