Dear member of this community,
On Monday 17 July, the Digital Agri Hub is launching a new e-mail-based conversation on a topic which was identified as highly interesting by members of the D4Ag community via an online survey conducted during the month of June. The exchanges, co-organised by GFAR, the University of British Columbia, the Agroecology Coalition and the Digital Agri Hub will be hosted on the Digitalisation for Agriculture or <https://bit.ly/JoinD4Ag> D4Ag dgroup. Digests will be re-posted daily on the FAO e-agriculture platform.
The forthcoming e-conversation will focus on the compatibility of two narratives or world views regarding digital technologies and agroecology, one believing that digitalisation can help transform agriculture in a sustainable and fair way, and a second one, quite strong among agroecology advocates, fearing that digital technologies prioritize productivity over ecological considerations, perpetuate the concentration of power in the hands of a few big corporate actors, and devalue farmers’ knowledge.
Each e-conversation topic is framed via an initial message posted on the D4Ag group to kickstart the reflections. Summaries of previous e-conversations are available on the D4Ag dgroup’s wiki <https://dgroups.io/g/d4ag/wiki/33673> (login required) or on <https://digitalagrihub.org/web/guest/events> The Hub events’ page.

All the best
