Alternative producer-consumer relationships: the AgroGeoTrace project and the speciality products virtual roads
Full text linkThe AgroGeoTrace (AGT) project makes use of Geographical Information Systems and multichannel information technologies to facilitate the access of final consumers to local food speciality products. The project builds a prototype of an informative system designed, first, to help consumers to understand the agronomic and technological characteristics that make the targeted products special ones, and, second, to precisely and easily locate the sites (farms and oil mills) where they can buy them. The information made available through the project is intended to the symbolic relocalization of the regional products, hence to promote them and to create added value. The final outcomes of the project are the virtual maps of on-farm shops made available on Digital television (channel In+), PDAs and mobile phones.food speciality products, short agro-food chains, Geographical Information Systems, Agribusiness,
Technology and anarchy. A reading of our era
No full textIn Technology and Anarchy: A Reading of Our Era, Simona Chiodo argues that our technological era can be read as the most radical form of anarchism ever experienced. People are not only removing the role of the expert as a mediator, but also trying, for the first time in history, to replace the role of a transcendent god itself by creating, especially through information technology, a totally immanent technological entity characterized by the typical ontological prerogatives of the divine: omnipresence (by being everywhere), omniscience (by knowing everything, especially about us), omnipotence (by having power, especially over us), and inscrutability. Chiodo proposes a novel view of our technological era by reading it as the last step of a precise trajectory of Western thought, i.e. as the most radical form of anarchism we have ever experienced, due to the crisis of the founding epistemological relationship between ideality and reality. By doing this, Chiodo helps fill the gap between technological innovation and the humanities, which is becoming an emerging research goal that is more and more urgent in order to face the greatest challenges of our present and future
¿Geoingeniería solar para enfriar la tierra?: entrevista con Gabriel Chiodo
No full textEl investigador climático y científico titular del CSIC Gabriel Chiodo fue uno de los expertos que participaron en el ciclo de debates "Clima de cambio", donde se analizó de dónde vienen los bloqueos a la acción climática y se plantearon soluciones a algunos de estos atascos. Con sus investigaciones en técnicas de geoingeniería solar, Chiodo trata de desentrañar la química de la atmósfera para entender mejor el cambio climático y buscar soluciones. Lo entrevista para Minerva la periodista especializada en ciencia y tecnología Patricia Ruiz Guevara, coordinadora de "Maldita Tecnología"
Après le Bilan de Santé de la PAC: quelle politique agricole commune après 2013?
No full textAprès le bilan de santé de la PAC, il convient de s’interroger sur le devenir de la Politique agricole commune après 2013. Le document conclusif du Bilan de santé dresse un certain nombre de préconisations. Les auteurs, Franco Sotte et Emilio Chiodo, se sont penchés sur la particularité de ces résolutions. Confèrent-elles à la PAC un caractère pertinent et durable ? Quelle sera la dotation financière de l’agriculture dans ces ajustements ?[...
