How do Digital Agricultural Technologies Affect Agrarian Change?
Data is an important factor in digital agriculture production.Different modes of production give rise to different data production relations,which in turn influence on agrarian change.In Western devel-oped countries,private farm landownership,combined with capital-led digital agriculture development,leads to relations of data production based on private ownership.This fosters land acquisition,strengthens the advantage of large farms over small farms,and enhances capital's control and exploitation of agricul-tural producers.In China,collective farm landownership,combined with government-led digital agricul-ture development,allows data production relations based on public ownership,which implies distinct im-pacts on agrarian changes.Digital marketing dominated by e-commerce platforms gives rise to relations of data production based on a new type of private ownership.As a result,agricultural e-commerce in China introduces new intermediaries and worsens the power asymmetry between farmers and commercial capital.Effectively connecting small farmers with digital technologies and protecting their data sovereignty are key to fostering common prosperity in digital agriculture.
