The project brings together agrifood studies and speculative design to examine current data-driven visions of digital agriculture, where assemblages of technologies such as satellites, sensors, robots, and data clouds are presented as a solution to enhance productivity, reduce waste and allow new forms of accountability amongst farms stakeholders.&nbsp;Our team sought to counter the often utopian accounts from industry with a series of design fictions and proposals that suggest the complicated \u2013 and sometimes troubling \u2013 impacts that the move towards digital agriculture might have on farmers, communities, and wider society.<br><br>The Stories of the Digital Farm project was developed in collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/sts.cornell.edu\" data-type=\"link\"
