Afrique: le Maroc propose 4 projets majeurs pour l’agriculture
Parmi les projets, un #Consortium Africain pour l’Innovation en Agriculture est proposé pour coordonner l’amélioration de l’utilisation des #engrais et la santé des sols, facilitant ainsi le partage de #technologies et le développement de politiques incitatives
Rivalité États-Unis - Chine : la géopolitique au cœur de la guerre #économique
A priori, la #guerre économique que mènent les États-Unis contre la Chine relève principalement du domaine des #technologies. Mais en réalité, c’est surtout une question de géopolitique car celui qui veut dominer le monde doit maîtriser les #infrastructures de #communication. C’est le cœur de la bataille qui oppose #Pékin à #Washington. Pour en parler, Ali Laïdi s'est entretenu avec Benjamin #Bürbaumer, économiste, maître de conférences à Sciences Po Bordeaux et auteur du livre "Chine - États-Unis, le capitalisme contre la mondialisation" (Ed. La Découverte).
🌖In the future, we expect to see a proliferation of #Robots exploring the #moon
🤖 Loïck Chovet is working on #technologies that will allow robots to trust each other & exchange services, fostering seamless collaboration in their endeavours.
⭐Over the last three decades, #luxembourg has made the development of the #spaceindustry a priority and has created a thriving space scene.
#KnowledgeByte: #Pink#Hydrogen is a type of hydrogen produced through water electrolysis powered by nuclear energy. It's also known as purple or red hydrogen.
One of the most promising #Climate#Technologies of the past decade was hydrogen power. Many consider #Pink Hydrogen to be a Game-Changing Technology.
The colonial biometric legacy at heart of new #EU#asylum system
"On Wednesday (10 April), the EU is set to vote on a new set of asylum and migration reforms. Among the many controversial changes proposed in the new migration pact, one went almost unnoticed — a seemingly innocent reform of the EU's asylum database, #EURODAC.
Although framed as purely technical adjustments, the reality is far more malicious. The changes to EURODAC will massively exacerbate violence against people on the move.
Reform of this 20 year-old database will make it the technological sword of EU's hostile asylum and border policies. It will harness the most nefarious surveillance #technologies that exist to date — namely the capture, processing and analysis of biometric data — and enable EU states to have full control over #migrants' body and movements....."
Warm korero on creative technologies in service to communities, plus a welcome from Intercreate.org's Trudy Lane & a cymatics clip from the creative project Beeyali.
A good way to start the day for the Ecologies, Technologies sessions during a joyful Small is Beautiful weekend w. the Schumacher students.
💡 The article presents an in-depth analysis of the emancipatory potential of #Web3#technologies in mitigating #democratic erosion caused by #data monopolies. It's time for a shift towards equitable data ecosystems. #Web3#DataDemocracy#AI
The hardest part of this semester was trying to urge #students, amid the available #technologies, to really #read. Most friends worldwide are on mobile phones, preferring short posts, and not easily accessing links. I can therefore be thankful for the global readership of my #publications in these #research#repositories:
Japan's ResearchMap (和英), where I have filled in #Japanese as well as English information about publications (6,600+ downloads): https://researchmap.jp/waoe
🏦 👑 Le pouvoir des grands groupes industriels et commerciaux s’exerce en premier lieu sur les marchés : leur position d’oligopoles dans les secteurs de l’agrofourniture, du commerce de gros, de la transformation et de la distribution leur permet d’avoir une influence disproportionnée dans la négociation des prix et des standards de production.
La mise sur le marché de nouvelles #technologies par les industries de la #semence, du machinisme ou de l’équipement #agricole, détermine les systèmes de production associés et crée une situation de dépendance #durable. La privatisation de certaines ressources et savoirs (ressources génétiques, données numériques, pharmaceutique…) s’oppose au développement d’alternatives ou à l’émergence de concurrents.
At #COP28, the CEO of #Exxon tells the FT that the #greentransition 'is not limited to just wind, solar and EVs,... Carbon capture is going to play a role. We’re good at that. We know how to do it, we can contribute. Hydrogen will play a role. Biofuels will play a role'!
Of course, despite the #technologies of renewable power being now proven, because the #fossilfuels firms are 'good at' other untried & difficult technologies they want to emphasise those.
'#eDiasporas are networks driven by human agency, referring to communities of individuals who maintain connections with their home countries and diasporic fellows through digital tools.'
If you have any skills or talents that you can use to try to avert the coming #climatecatastrophe then get off your arse and do something.
Thats not saying "I will fly less and recycle more". Its coming freely together with other people to come up with new ideas and inventions to sort things out. If we can come up with #opensource software like #Linux then we can come up with open source solutions to #software and #hardware problems to help everyone
Its not just #scientists, #engineers and the like. If you are good at say editing #video or #audio you can help make content promoting the other people creating new technology. #Economists, #politicians and more can come up with #equitable and fair means of generating money with the new #technologies. They can also tax the rich motherfuckers until the pips squeak to pay for them too.
“often a tendency to focus on the primary user and #design just for them. Because these #technologies are so deeply embedded in social interactions and are used with others and around others, we often forget these ‘onlookers’ and we’re not designing with them in mind”
“involving non-users is especially key in developing more #equitable tech products and creating more #inclusive experiences” https://spectrum.ieee.org/ar-glasses#AR#augmentedreality#power
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
Rethinking Everything, Everywhere, All at Once can lead to amazing #ClimateChange mitigation solutions based on #ancient#technologies, we don't always have to create entirely new components.
Cost-effective, scalable, and #environmentally friendly storage of #energy generated by #rewnewables remains a problem with which current #batteries still struggle, and l this kinda low-tech alternative may be an answer.
"#Agriculture has been the single biggest driver for #wilderness destruction." (As noted in a previous #video, in the #US home #lawns consume more acreage than agriculture, thus are more #ecologically damaging.)
As also previously noted, #ancient#technologies, like #aquaponics, updated and adapted for our times (e.g. including #solar, for power), can be part of a successful Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation strategy.
Extractive, non-#regenerative#technologies can only be short-term options for #ClimateChange mitigation because the irreparable damage they cause will eventually negate all or most of the immediate benefits they provide.
#Lithium is definitely not the answer. It only provides a temporary break and we must move away from it immediately.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once solutions and strategies must always be improving, and doing less #environmental damage.
