Identifying public trust building priorities of gene editing in agriculture and food
Regulating gene editing in agriculture and food in the European Union: Disentangling expectations and path dependencies
This study investigates how proponents and critics of gene editing in agriculture and food (GEAF) employ expectations—discourses with future‐oriented impacts—as they compete to secure desired futures and mobilise social processes and resources towards their goal of influencing GEAF (re)regulation and agro‐food systems within the EU. We draw on 27 semi‐structured interviews and 53 Euractiv media articles to identify and analyse GEAF proponents’ an…
Gene Editing in Agriculture: Social Concerns, Public Engagement, and Governance
This special issue reflects a variety of methodological and critical perspectives on contemporary issues regarding social concerns, public engagement, and governance of gene editing in agriculture
Situated Ethics in Development: STS Insights for a Pragmatic Approach to Development Policy and Practice
Technology has played a central role in development programming since the inception of development assistance. Recent development organizations, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, believe technological innovation can improve development outcomes. Development ethics, a field of study focused on the ethical questions posed by development policies and practices, has yet to fully appreciate the ethical dimensions of the science and technolog…
Governing gene editing in agriculture and food in the United States
Biotechnologies in agriculture and food are increasingly governed by both state and nonstate actors. In this article, we explore emerging tensions and contestations in the United States over how gene-editing technologies in agriculture and food should be governed and by whom. This article is framed theoretically by the literatures examining the politics of state and nonstate governance of the agrifood and biotechnology sectors. We draw on semistr…
Dairy Livestock Interventions for Food Security in Uganda: What are the Implications for Women's Empowerment
Women are increasingly the target of agricultural development programs aimed at reducing poverty and food insecurity, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Some feminist scholars argue that such efforts are driven more by concerns about the efficient use of resources than the rights of women and do little to transform gendered power relations. We examine how development interventions that target women affect household well-being, especially food inse…
Emerging sociotechnical imaginaries for gene edited crops for foods in the United States: Implications for governance
Weak winners’ of Women's empowerment: The gendered effects of dairy livestock assets on time poverty in Uganda
Non-GMO vs organic labels: Purity or process guarantees in a GMO contaminated landscape
Superweeds’ or ‘survivors’? Framing the problem of glyphosate resistant weeds and genetically engineered crops
Privileged access and rural vulnerabilities: Examining social and environmental exploitation in bioenergy development in the American Midwest
Depoliticizing land and water “grabs” in Colombia: The limits of Bonsucro certification for enhancing sustainable biofuel practices
Framing and reframing the environmental risks and economic benefits of ethanol production in Iowa
Community Support of Ethanol Plants: Does Local Ownership Matter
Drawing on data from six communities in Kansas and Iowa, we explore the factors that are related to community members' current levels of overall support for local ethanol plants. What are residents' opinions about the benefits and drawbacks of local ownership of ethanol plants? How does that awareness lead to overall support of plants? Our interest is to understand how perceptions of the negative effects of the plant on the local infrastructure a…
Gendering Agricultural Aid: An Analysis of Whether International Development Assistance Targets Women and Gender
Gender-based inequalities constrain women's ability to participate in efforts to enhance agricultural production and reduce poverty and food insecurity. To resolve this, development organizations have targeted women and more recently 'mainstreamed' gender within their agricultural aid programs. Through an analysis of agricultural-related development aid, we examine whether funded agricultural projects have increasingly targeted women and/or gende…
Structuring the Flexible and Feminized Labor Market: GlobalGAP Standards for Agricultural Labor in Chile
The expansion of global value chains, together with an export‐oriented development strategy by countries in the global South, has been accompanied by the growth of labor markets that are both flexible and feminized. However, the marginalization of sections of the working class, and women in particular, is not an inexorable ingredient of globalization. How, then, are social relations within the labor market constructed? Markets and their instituti…
The Politics of Food Supply: U.S. Agricultural Policy in the World Economy
New! Improved? The Transformation of the Global Agrifood System
The last decade has witnessed a dramatic rise in global trade in food and agricultural products. While much analysis has focused on the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in this process, we argue that other forms of regulation are of far greater consequence. In this paper, we examine changes in the agrifood systemmade possibleby the WTO and we assess the rise of global private standards. We argue that the new global rules, regulations, a…
