TY - JOUR T1 - Smart Farming: Including Rights Holders for Responsible Agricultural Innovation JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2018 A1 - Kelly Bronson KW - agriculture KW - automation KW - big data KW - machine intelligence KW - power KW - responsible innovation KW - smart agriculture KW - technological values AB - This article draws on the literature of responsible innovation to suggest concrete processes for including rights holders in the “smart” agricultural revolution. It first draws upon historical agricultural research in Canada to highlight how productivist values drove seed innovations with particular consequences for the distribution of power in the food system. Next, the article uses document analysis to suggest that a similar value framework is motivating public investment in smart farming innovations. The article is of interest to smart farming’s decision makers (from farmers to governance actors) and a broader audience – anyone interested in engendering equity through innovation-led societal transitions.
