精准农业（PA）正在通过一系列技术来重建农民的生计和身份，这些技术可以生成和处理大数据以影响农业实践。在本文中，我们提出了这样一个问题：算法合理性如何影响农民对PA的信任？我们专注于农业科技公司通过PA在社会上构建一种道德信任形式，知识和知识能力的政治，以及新的社会身份的内在化的权力模式。这项研究采用了一种混合方法，其中包括焦点小组和后续调查与社会行动者沿着巴勒斯坦权力机构的价值链。我们发现，农业技术公司已经成功地将其知识产品定位为上级于农民的经验知识，从而确保农民持续参与PA技术的数据采集和资本积累。农民内化了PA的算法合理性，并通过表面上表现出对该系统的道德信任的政府化行动，将自己沿着一个道德登记册定位。这一过程具有转变社会身份的效果，使农民成为自己异化的建筑师。Agritech越来越擅长从农民那里提取农业知识。巴勒斯坦权力机构是一个争夺农业知识政治的战场。
Precision agriculture (PA) is restructuring farmer livelihoods and identities through a panoply of technologies that generate and process big data to influence agricultural practices. In this paper, we ask the question:How does algorithmic rationality impact farmers' trust in PA?We focus on the modalities of power wielded by agritech firms through PA that socially construct a form of moralistic trust, the politics of knowledge and knowledgeability, and the internalization of new social identities. This research study utilized a mixed methods approach that included focus groups and follow-up surveys with social actors along the PA value chain. We found that agritech firms have successfully positioned their knowledge products as superior to farmers' experiential knowledge, thereby ensuring farmers’ sustained engagement with PA technologies for the purposes of data capture and capital accumulation. Farmers internalize the algorithmic rationality of PA and position themselves along a moral register through governmentalized actions that ostensibly demonstrate moralistic trust in the system. This process has the effect of transforming social identities, interpellating farmers as the architects of their own alienation. Agritech is increasingly adept at digitally abstracting farm knowledge away from farmers. PA is a battleground wherein the politics of agrarian knowledge are contested.
