Centraliser ou distribuer les données: deux imaginaires opposés pour la numérisation de l’agriculture

Omniprésentes dans notre quotidien, les plateformes numériques cherchent également à dominer l’agriculture, portées entres autres par l’agro-business.

Quelles relations de dépendance ces plateformes instaurent-elles entre prestataires et utilisateurs, agriculteurs et organisations professionnelles ?

Par quels mécanismes s’assurent-elles d’imposer et de verrouiller ces relations, ou cherchent-elles au contraire à les ouvrir et à laisser les acteurs libres de leurs associations ?

À découvrir au chapitre 14 de l’ouvrage Comment les machines ont pris la terre, publié aux éditions de l’École normale supérieure de Lyon, et consacré à ADA et Barto, deux projets opposés dans leur vision de la numérisation de l’agriculture suisse 🇨🇭 .

From Dynamic Consent to Dynamic Governance: An Architecture for the Traceability of HSR

In Human Subject Research (HSR), dynamic consent generally refers to the online management of informed consent (IC) between a research institution and a participant.

The term evokes the changing conditions of consent (the result) by binding the two words. The underlying information technologies (the means) are implicit. The reasons for change are confined to the digital channel and its analog endpoints.

Closer to the etymon, dynamic governance refers to the en-force-ment of rules that determine how researchers and other stakeholders in research implement IC in a socio-technical environment.

Multiple sources of change exist for HSR that have consequences on IC and on its legality, scope, and duration. The regulator cannot enforce informed consent without a control function. The paper describes design constraints for distributed consent management systems and for the traceability of IC in the general context of HSR

IRIN’s 2024 retreat

1 commentaire / Evénements scientifiques / Par Léa

IRIN’s 2024 retreat took place from 20 to 23 November in the medieval town of Gruyère.

After a first afternoon devoted to a review of the past year, the retreat continued with a presentation of the Association’s plans for 2025 and beyond. A research programme and an implementation plan for the period 2025-2027 were drawn up. On the third day, we explored the networks and fields that might support our goals, followed by two working sessions. The final day was an opportunity to reflect on the future of our website and ended with a wrap-up session.

More news to come in 2025. Stay tuned and best wishes for the festive season ! Alain & Léa

Design for Agency vs. Vulnerability by Design - The case of Swiss agriculture

Should sensitive data shared in an information infrastructure (such as in agriculture) be centralized or distributed?

The answer depends on what we are concerned (or care) about.

If the focus is on (farmers’) vulnerability, (agricultural organisations’) accountability and trust (between the two), then…

Co-Shaping e-Gov and Information Infrastructures: From Agriculture to Healthcare

Don’t simplify the complex social organisation of public services through IT design.

It’s neither necessary nor useful, and may run counter to legislation.

The sustainable development of an information infrastructure depends on architectural representations that respect this complexity.

Infrastructure overlays and digital chimeras: keys for reading information infrastructures

Overlays are objects shared by actors in the analog world, say a farm. But don’t expect digital systems, distributed between different actors, to share a common representation of that object – that’s a digital chimera.
