Abstract
This chapter calls attention to new connections between digital technologies and food
that can be found all across the world. It scrutinizes these developments against the light
of an environment-development nexus engineered by mainstream development
theorists, which assumes that an embrace of digital technologies in and across food
systems will boost “development” and reduce the environmental impact of “modern”
agricultural practices. The chapter uses materials on emerging configurations in the
digital-infused food system to probe the possibilities for critical subjects to blend
technical proficiencies to create alternative, conceivably more just, digital futures than
those called forth by the well-established and many new firms using digital devices and
services to generate and capture value across the food system.
