ABSTRACT

The relationship between industrialized agriculture and community wellbeing has been extensively studied, involving a research tradition that dates back to 1930s. The academic community did not always appreciate traditional cultural knowledge. Students generally note that cultural diversity is worth saving. Like biodiversity, cultural diversity is under continual threat. Cultural monocultures: the result of, among other things, cultural assimilation, language and knowledge loss, generational forgetting, and the adoption of non-traditional practices and ways of life. Big data tools are frequently referred to as the next "big thing" in conventional agricultural circles. In a recent report, the Joint Research Center of the European Commission wrote that "precision agriculture can play a substantial role in the European Union in meeting the increasing demand for food, feed, and raw materials while ensuring sustainable use of natural resources and the environment". Cheap food like turkey tails began displacing traditional foods, as the latter became more costly than imports and more time-consuming to prepare.
