12 pages., Online via UI electronic subscription, Analysis of five cases of peak social media activity in the Dutch livestock sector. Findings indicated that social media hypes revolved around activism, scandals, and conflicts - each with characteristic patterns of activity, framing, interaction and media interplay. "Our results show the need to adopt a proactive and interactive approach that transcends the view of social media as a mere communication channel to respond in crisis situations."

James F. Evans Collection, As a result of environmental and agrarian activism and of academic critique, a substantial amount of space is available now for moving agricultural technoscience onto new trajectories. A critical rural sociology has played a key role in pushing forward the deconstructive project that has been instrumental in creating this space. And rural sociologists can be active agents in the reconstruction of the alternative science that must emerge from "actually existing" science and that must be developed if there is to be a truly alternative agriculture. But to be effective in this effort we need to enlarge not only the canon of our colleagues in the natural sciences, but our own canon as well. This article suggests that the theoretical resources for such reconstruction are available in contemporary sociological and feminist interpretations of science. Material resources for the reconstruction of a "successor science" are to be found in the "local knowledge" that is continually produced and reproduced by farmers and agricultural workers. Articulations and complementarities between theoretical resources are suggested and potentially productive research areas are outlined. (original)

INTERPAKS, Examines some examples of technology unsuited to farming systems in the less developed countries. Examples include the introduction of tractors in East Africa and certain aspects of mechanizing rice production in Asia. Examples are also given of some promising developments of indigenous technology in Asia and West Africa. Attention is also drawn to some of the undesirable effects of both national and international policies on mechanization transfer, especially when it is linked to foreign aid. Notes that institutional barriers, arising from existing structures for aid, trade and education, can impede the development and spread of more appropriate technologies in the less developed countries. Indicates that appropriate technology for a given situation, whether imported or locally developed, can be considered to be a particular form of technology which is in harmony with the prevailing socioeconomic conditions and management expertise. Emphasizes that machine compatibility with its working environment is just as important as its function. Indicates that this will require a new approach to training and education of engineers and technologists in the less developed countries, and that such experts will play a greater role in the planning and execution of schemes using mechanization.
