When robots meet weeds: Mechanical–digital hybridity and ecological entanglements in digital agriculture
A major challenge for sustainable agriculture is finding alternatives to herbicides, which contribute to biodiversity loss and health risks. While digitalization is often presented as the solution to “the weeding problem,” this article untangles how digitalization is changing human–machine–nature interactions in the case of digital weeding technology. Building on critical theory of technology and Science and Technology Studies (STS), we analyze t…
Taking farmers' trust issues Seriously: Mistrust and the digital tech revolution in water management
This article examines farmers' scepticism toward digital irrigation technologies in a Mediterranean irrigation context within Spain, drawing on qualitative research conducted in Andalusia and Catalunya to explore the multiple, layered forms of mistrust that shape technology adoption. Rather than viewing mistrust as a barrier to innovation, we reconceptualise it as a diagnostic lens—one that reveals deep-seated concerns around epistemic exclusion,…

The twin green and digital transition: High-level policy or science fiction
This paper contributes to the literature that critically engages with the so-called 'twin green and digital transition' by assessing the twin transition as a policy discourse. Our research question is: why and how is the twin transition legitimised and implemented in the European Union (EU) despite recognised pitfalls and uncertainties? The analysis is based on interpretative text analysis of high-level EU policy documents about the twin green an…
The making of sustainability: Ideological strategies, the materiality of nature, and biomass use in the bioeconomy
The bioeconomy, a recent addition to the political project of ecological modernization, is largely premised on the widespread use of biomass. Biomass is presented by bioeconomy proponents as renewable and, therefore, sustainable. However, a large body of academic and non-academic literature questions this sustainability, citing the negative socio-ecological aspects of biomass use. Given this contradiction, we ask how the key institutions of the i…

Struggles for land: Comparing Resistance Movements Against Agro-Industrial and Mining Investment Projects
Investments in large-scale land-based projects increased over the past two decades, with a concomitant rise in community-level resistance. Drawing from data on resistance movements, literature findings, and two case studies in Senegal, this paper compares movements resisting either agro-industrial or mining projects. Building on contentious politics and materialist approaches from political ecology we find that outcomes seem largely case-dependen…
Konflikte um die Aneignung von Land: Proteste gegen industrielle Minen und agrarindustrielle Projekte im Senegal
Digitalization and the third food regime
This article asks how the application of digital technologies is changing the organization of the agri-food system in the context of the third food regime. The academic debate on digitalization and food largely focuses on the input and farm level. Yet, based on the analysis of 280 digital services and products, we show that digital technologies are now being used along the entire food commodity chain. We argue that digital technologies in the thi…

Einleitung

Wörterbuch Land- und Rohstoffkonflikte
Globale Transformationsprozesse wie steigende Rohstoff- und Nahrungsmittelpreise, die Finanzkrise und der Klimawandel haben seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts zu tiefgreifenden Veränderungen in der Landnutzung und bei den Landbesitzverhältnissen beigetragen. Konflikte um Land und Rohstoffe stehen seit einigen Jahren im Fokus einer lebhaften wissenschaftlichen und zivilgesellschaftlichen Debatte und führen vielerorts - insbesondere im Globalen Süden…

Success and failure of protest actors’ framing strategies in conflicts over land and mining in Senegal
In this article, I explore how the discursive context shapes the outcome of protest actors’ framing strategies in conflicts over large-scale land transformations. I use the discursive opportunity structures (DOS) concept to show that the outcome of framing strategies is influenced by national and transnational discursive structures. These differ depending on the specific purpose of land valorisation. Further factors influencing the outcomes are c…
Mit Rap zur Revolte: Die Bewegung Y’en a marre
This study examines the successful mobilization of the movement Y’en a marre (We’re fed up) in Senegal in the run-up to the presidential elections in February and March 2012. The article traces this success back to the framing strategies applied by Y’en a marre and its creative use of resources. It is argued that an essential factor in the mobilization was the linkage established by the group between its protests against the third term bid of Pre…
