People are told that these modern technologies have to be embraced to both address food security and tackle climate change. According to the advocates of these technofixes, regions that don\u2019t adopt these new technologies \u2013 especially in the Global South \u2013 are doomed to remain stuck in the dark ages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this session, you will hear voices of resistance to these new technologies from different parts of the world. They will share their insights on how UK (and other Western) corporations, research, states and foundations have been and continue to seek to export technology packages to engineer agroecosystems. Starting from testimonies and historical insights in technology resistance struggles, this session seeks to disrupt assumptions that \u2018Western\u2019 technology should be promoted in the Global South. We will also start unpacking how (bio)technology relates to questions of colonialism, decolonization and development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"footer__content\">\n<p><span class=\"is-oswald text-uppercase\">ORFC Global 2021\u00a0 <span class=\"is-orange\">7 \u2013 13 January\u00a0<\/span><\/span> <a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/book-tickets\/\">Book Tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Working with partners around the world, ORFC Global brings together voices from the real food and farming movement across six continents, for what we believe is the first time ever.\u00a0 This will be a radical, inclusive and inspiring seven-day programme of talks, events and workshops.<br \/>\nAbout the ORFC: Meeting annually in January, with regional events throughout the year, ORFC is a space for people to share their stories, learn from each other and strengthen alliances for a thriving future for real farming in the UK. <a href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/orfc-global-2021-guiding-principles\/\">Its radical and inclusive programme<\/a> is suggested and run by its participants<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;The justification of technological impositions claims that countries are \u2018behind\u2019 due to insufficient access to new technologies but the rhetoric of a \u2018humanitarian\u2019 effort thinly veils the real priority of market expansion&quot; Today&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ORFCGlobal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ORFCGlobal<\/a> session: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EETBpzMkNC\">https:\/\/t.co\/EETBpzMkNC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2R5ZBN21I5\">pic.twitter.com\/2R5ZBN21I5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Navdanya International (@NavdanyaInt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NavdanyaInt\/status\/1349081736651616258?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Monopoly based technofixes &amp; data-driven vertical integration call for control over the whole food chain, make small farmers &amp; retailers vulnerable, leaving seed sovereignty, agroecology &amp; local circular economy completely by the way-side <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ORFCGlobal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ORFCGlobal<\/a> \u25b6\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xJKCqHCX6a\">https:\/\/t.co\/xJKCqHCX6a<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QTwHa3XsIx\">pic.twitter.com\/QTwHa3XsIx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Navdanya International (@NavdanyaInt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NavdanyaInt\/status\/1349347572117368833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"sGSSwJDeGA\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/navdanya-international-at-oxford-real-farming-global-conference\/\">Navdanya International at Oxford Real Farming Global Conference &#8211; Highlights<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/navdanya-international-at-oxford-real-farming-global-conference\/embed\/#?secret=sGSSwJDeGA\" data-secret=\"sGSSwJDeGA\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Navdanya International at Oxford Real Farming Global Conference &#8211; Highlights&#8221; &#8212; Navdanya international\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oxford Real Farming Conference Session 12 January 2021, 12pm \u2013 1pm GMT Speakers Neth Da\u00f1o Patrick Mulvany Ruchi Shroff, Navdanya International Chair: Saurabh Arora For years now, people have been inundated with promises about the potential of genetically modified organisms and other \u2018precision\u2019 and \u2018digitalised\u2019 farm technologies.
