The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the contradictions and crisis tendencies of capitalist development. The responses likewise are reflective of these contradictions and tendencies. This article will reflect on the social relations this form of development takes in light of ‘labour-saving’ technologies within the agrarian sector. Primarily as a socio-theoretical reflection, this article highlights the societal and environmental contradictions arising out of precision agriculture. This commentary assesses the contradictions associated with labour-saving technological development and whether approaches such as eco-modernism are suitable for critically analyzing the social and environmental conditions of food production. This commentary takes a critical stance from a historical materialist perspective
