Abstract
Why accurate info matters in agri-food and climate change Dr Ataharul Chowdhury from the School of Environmental Design & Rural Development explores the importance of an agri-food, climate change, and rural misinformation research platform to combat information disorder and facilitate agri-food innovation and sustainable development. While information is an essential element for facilitating innovation and sustainable development, it is also evident that information can be politicized and used intentionally to favor ideology, values, and support groups as well as benefit economically. This creates many challenges for inclusive, sustainable, and climate-resilient food systems. The intentional nature of information has been evident since the early stages of civilization. The intentional nature of information creates division among nations, fuels wars and conflicts, and impedes development – some recent examples include the Middle Eastern war, Ukraine wars, and COVID-19.
