It first draws upon historical agricultural research in Canada to highlight how productivist values drove seed innovations with particular consequences for the distribution of power in the food system. Next, the article uses document analysis to suggest that a similar value framework is motivating public investment in smart farming innovations. The article is of interest to smart farming’s decision makers (from farmers to governance actors) and a broader audience – anyone interested in engendering equity through innovation-led societal transitions. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 7-14 %8 02/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1135 %N 2 %1 University of Ottawa Kelly Bronson is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Institute for Science, Society, and Policy at the University of Ottawa, Canada.
