The rise of digital agriculture and dispossession in Africa: implications for smallholder farmers
This paper explores areas of contestation related to
digital agriculture globally and highlights concerns
related to the application of digital agriculture in
the smallholder farming sector in Africa. These
concerns include inequitable benefits and influence
accrued from its deployment; ownership of data and
how it is used; and its exclusion and marginalisation
of the people-environment relationships
and knowledge systems. Digital sovereignty,
democratisation of data, and digital commons
are discussed in response to these concerns.
