Genomic infrastructure proposes to redefines bodies and the ways to approach them. However, it does so in very different fashions for humans (medical endeavors) and for animals (livestock farming). Genomic infrastructure performs a distinct way of approaching life by decomposing it into large data ensembles and subsequently re-compositing it according to various uses \u2013 therapeutic, productive, etc. Focusing on the case of cattle breeding, the presentation proposes to characterize this infrastructure as re-mediation, that is as the manufacturing of peculiar kinds of relations, hence, as a proposal for new relational ethics. Specifically, it will interrogate the ecological promises of genomic infrastructure: healthier animals with better resistance to stress and diseases and longer life-expectancy, more biologically diverse herds, or less greenhouse gas emissions. Would genomic infrastructure be, finally, the perfect technofix?<\/p>\n
Bregje van Veelen (LUCSUS, Lund University) \u2013 Milking the system? The role of green finance in decarbonizing agriculture<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite growing calls to make financial flows consistent with Paris Agreement goals, to date little is known about the environmental and climate impact of \u2018green finance\u2019. Drawing on literature which explores how resources are assembled for investment, I explore where green finance \u2018lands\u2019. I do this by tracing the implementation of a green financial instrument, the Green Schuldschein, issued by a multinational dairy company. I show that flows of green finance in the agricultural sector are unlikely to land in places where they can have the most significant climate impact, but rather in places where they remain distant from nature\u2019s unruly qualities. This highlights the importance of examining both financial and the extra-economic relations of the wider fields in which new \u2018green\u2019 financial instruments are situated to assess their potential environmental impact. \u00a0<\/p>\n Fran\u00e7ois Thoreau (SPIRAL, University of Li\u00e8ge)<\/strong> is Associate Professor at Li\u00e8ge University and a Research associate from the F.R.S.-FNRS with Spiral (ULi\u00e8ge).
