Klara Fischer on why "technology is not scale-neutral" in new Feed podcast

Feed is a food systems podcast that seeks to explore the evidence, worldviews, and values that people bring to global food system debates. The podcast is produced by Table, a collaboration between SLU, the University of Oxford and Wageningen University & Research.

The latest episode of Feed has invited Klara Fischer (associate professor in rural development at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) to discuss how different smallholders in sub-Saharan Africa adopt and adapt different technologies, why new crop technologies are not scale-neutral, lessons to be learned from the Asian green revolution, and why it's important to work in interdisciplinary teams and be aware of the boundaries of our own knowledge.
