Abstract
The absence of a legal and regulatory framework protecting a farmer's right to control data generated from their use of precision agriculture may impede adoption of the technology. Consideration of preferences about the disposition of this data is therefore critical to the broader discussion about the growth of precision agricultural technologies and its impact on society. Using a choice experiment, we show that factors contributing to willingness to enroll in a data management contract with a precision agriculture service provider include discount received, whether data ownership rights are retained, data privacy guarantees, and whether the data is transferred manually or automatically between systems.
期刊介绍:
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
