Knowledge Commoning
by Israr Qureshi 13 May '22

13 May '22

Some members of this list may find our recently published paper useful. Knowledge Commoning: Scaffolding and Technoficing to Overcome Challenges of Knowledge Curation How indigenous and local knowledge can be curated to enhance income generation opportunities of the marginalized communities. https://lnkd.in/gfHUFsMP (free download of the paper is available until July 1, 2022, here: https://lnkd.in/gq9dRChG) Abstract Extant approaches to information provisioning to farmers to improve agricultural productivity, and thereby alleviate poverty have relied on top-down external expert-driven knowledge. Such external knowledge involves decontextualised content and the use of technical language, and is resource-intensive. An alternative view emphasises the need to explore indigenous knowledge exists in rural communities, which, in contrast, requires the use of local resources, is easily understandable, and has greater potential for adoption. This paper explores how information and communication technologies, specifically videos, can be leveraged to curate such indigenous knowledge and convert it to knowledge commons. Adopting a case study approach that involved multiple sources of data collection over a nine-year period, we unearthed a dynamic process model that we labelled as knowledge commoning. It is a process through which latent-action-oriented knowledge from high-yield farmers embedded within its social context is made available as commons. The creation of knowledge commons is an iterative process between knowledge curation and knowledge dissemination, and is guided by the demand and uptake potential within local farming communities. Further, we describe how socio-cultural barriers in knowledge commoning can be overcome through scaffolding, involving the concealment of social transformation objectives within another goal desired by the community. Technological challenges can be overcome through the process of technoficing, which encompasses pursuing social objectives using technology that is appropriate for the purpose. Building on our process model, we offer contributions to theory, practice, and policy.

What if women didn't have to do most of the work? What if it wasn't Black, Indigenous, and people of color who bore most of the burden? These are some of the questions raised in the short animation ‘For feminist agroecologies’ (2’19’’) by the AgroecologyNow collective.

Drawing on the experience of feminist food activits from Mexico and Spain, the first episode ‘What does feminism have to do with the food you eat?’ (31 min) unpacks the ways in which it is necessary to go beyond gender for food system transformation and how it can be done in practice.

The chinampas were floating beds made like a basket of reeds in which organic material was collected to generate soil and produce food in the middle of a lake. The ingenious pre-hispanic cropping system of the Chinampas in Xochimilco, south of Mexico City is under threat today. Now the beds no longer float, but are plots of land separated by canals. The water is contaminated and the chinampas are used for weekend parties and industrial flower production. Mexico City is long overdue for agroecological policies that protect its agro-gems.

In particular, he describes the network’s current experiments on selecting wheat varieties for cultivation by simultaneously taking into consideration agronomic, milling and baking criteria. Relatedly, he also makes the case for the need to develop new methods for assessing wheat and flour that are compatible with agroecological grain production and artisanal baking. https://wp.me/p67WNH-Yz<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwp.me%2Fp…> Embracing Critical Friendship for Agroecology Transitions (EN, ES, FR) In this article Colin Anderson, Chris Maughan and Sydney Blume explain the notion of ‘the critical friend’.

Issue 29 - April 2022 Catharsis
by Adam Cogan 27 Apr '22

27 Apr '22

Hi all Together with a friend who runs Catharsis Magazine I recently put together this issue related to social, ecological, and philosophical issues surrounding farming and food production in India and beyond. It features several interviews including with fellow pedagoger Ashish Kothari and others including Alpa Shah, Aseem Shrivastava and Vandana Shiva. I thought it may be of interest to some of you. You can access individual articles here (without the nice pictures and formatting of the print issue): https://www.catharsismagazine.com/issue-29 Or the PDF version of the mag here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zag9mzvIb_DVyNvBo-lGiLSf7b1RBQBp/view Thanks Adam
