The Impact of Agricultural Tech on The World & Its People

In this episode of Technically Spiritual, we discuss how tech affects people and the world through the lens of agriculture, food systems, and the power that comes from access to data.

Jenny Melo, Fulbright scholar & PhD student, joins us this week to share her expertise on the socio-ethical impacts of agricultural technologies.

Tune in to learn how our current agricultural/food production system perpetuates deep inequality in our neighborhoods and all over the world.

And lastly, learn how spirituality, science, and curiosity intersect to help us become better citizens, with an opportunity to make a better world.

Jenny Melo is an applied scholar from Colombia with training in business, social sciences, and sociology. She had devoted her professional life to better understand the social implications of business, particularly in rural settings. Currently and through a Fulbright Scholarship, she is pursuing a Ph.D. in Rural Sociology at the University of Missouri - Columbia, where is researching the socio-ethical implications that digital agricultural technologies pose for small farmers in the Latin American context.
