The bare life of weeds
As conventional chemical methods of weed control come under increasing scrutiny, the agri-tech industry has turned to artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to combat the evolving ‘weed problem’. However, the intervention of AI and robotics into agricultural weed management in this ‘post-herbicide’ era poses new questions for human-weed relations. Although attention has been paid to the social and ethical impacts of agricultural AI and robotic…
Normal food practices
This paper examines the dynamic interplay between norms, practices, and food environments through the concept of 'normal food practices'. Drawing on Georges Canguilhem's theory of vital norms and social practice theory, we distinguish between descriptive (common), evaluative (proper), and creative (norm-generating) dimensions of food practices. We argue that food-related behaviors are not only shaped by existing norms but also actively produce ne…
The Pascoe Moment
The 2014 publication of Yuin historian Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu signalled a shift in Australian agricultural discourse and practice. Prior to its publication, little attention was given to the intersection between food practices and (de)colonisation. Over the past decade, small-scale alternative food movements as well as large-scale export-oriented producers have responded unevenly to Pascoe’s provocation. While the former sought to develop a deco…

Like going to get a facial
The ethical effect of aesthetics is underexplored in literatures on healthcare, especially reproductive services. Healthcare aesthetics play a particular role in influencing patient choice, and in so doing, mediates who is - and is not - welcomed into certain medical spaces. This is particularly pertinent in the context of assisted reproductive clinics, which are often seeking competitive advantage in a market where patients purportedly have a ch…
The Pandemic Boom of Urban Agriculture
In Australia, COVID-19 has accelerated the reliance on resiliency as a tool of post-pandemic urban recovery. We draw on critical literature on resilience to examine its use in proposals for urban agriculture in cities after COVID-19. Crucially, we situate the pandemic in a longer history of settler-colonialism, and in the role of agriculture in the dispossession of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We argue that the pandemic conditio…
