British Columbia’s food system is experiencing an emerging trend in the digitalization of agriculture, which will impact agricultural practices in the province. The rapid growth of this field has created a niche for training and education in digital agriculture and more specifically, in areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and computing. However, it remains unclear whether current educators and trainers in British Columbia are communicating both the benefits and risks of digital agriculture, and the need for an inclusive and equitable approach to digital agriculture. To understand the emerging education and training landscape in digital agricultural technologies, this exploratory study engaged in a key informant interview with 12 participants, including educators, relevant government staff, and private training consultants/practitioners in the food and agricultural sector in British Columbia. The small sample is reflective of the nascent nature of this area of research, which seeks to better understand digital agriculture from the perspectives of agricultural educators and trainers both in the public and private sectors. The study found that there is currently a lack of consideration for equity and food sovereignty in digital agricultural training and education. This is primarily due to a gap in engagement with the social aspects of digital agriculture. Without engaging critical social scientists and critical data studies, digital agriculture education, and training may be conducted in ways that do not promote responsible and ethical innovation, and are therefore counterproductive to the development of a just and sustainable food system.

Abstract This study aims to determine the National Economic Recovery (PEN) policy in supporting increased labor productivity in the agricultural sector and the measures that can take so that the PEN policy can boost labor productivity in the agricultural sector. This research method is descriptive qualitative using secondary data. The results showed that the PEN policy supported the increase in labor productivity in the agricultural sector through additional social assistance allocations and additional pre-employment cards. This assistance and support aim to ensure that the agricultural sector actors can continue to work and be productive. The PEN program can boost labor productivity in the agricultural sector by using pre-employment cards that allow residents to access entrepreneurship education and training activities to support environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural practices. The education and training are focused on mastering information technology to support the creation of an agricultural ecosystem that includes input and input processes, including digitization in marketing various agricultural products to consumers. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebijakan Pemulihan Ekonomi Nasional (PEN) dalam mendukung peningkatan produktivitas tenaga kerja sektor pertanian dan upaya yang dapat ditempuh  agar kebijakan PEN dapat mendorong peningkatan produktivitas tenaga kerja sektor pertanian. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan PEN mendukung peningkatan produktivitas tenaga kerja sektor pertanian melalui penambahan penyaluran Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) / alokasi bantuan sosial (bansos) dan tambahan kartu prakerja kepada petani. Bantuan dan dukungan tersebut bertujuan agar pelaku di sektor pertanian dapat tetap bekerja dan produktif. Upaya yang dapat dilakukan agar program PEN dapat mendorong peningkatan produktivitas tenaga kerja sektor pertanian melalui pemanfaatan kartu prakerja yang memungkinkan penduduk mengakses kegiatan pendidikan kewirausahaan dan pelatihan untuk mendukung praktik pertanian yang ramah lingkungan dan berkelanjutan. Pendidikan dan pelatihan tersebut difokuskan pada penguasaan dalam pemanfaatan teknologi informasi guna mendukung terwujudnya ekosistem pertanian yang mencakup proses input dan input, termasuk digitalisasi dalam pemasaran berbagai produk pertanian kepada konsumen.

This study provides a model that supports systematic stakeholder inclusion in agricultural technology. Building on the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) literature and attempting to add precision to the conversation around inclusion in technology design and governance, this study develops a framework for determining which stakeholder groups to engage in RRI processes. We developed the model using a specific industry case study: identifying the relevant stakeholders in the Canadian digital agriculture ecosystem. The study uses literature and news article analysis to map stakeholders in the Canadian digital agricultural sector as a test case for the model. The study proposes a systematic framework which categorises stakeholders into individuals, industrial and societal groups with both direct engagement and supportive roles in digital agriculture. These groups are then plotted against three levels of impact or power in the agri-food system: micro, meso and macro.

This paper reports some aspects of a survey made of the training experiences of a group of recently appointed consultants in general psychiatry; it is the third such survey made by the author. The original enquiry was a postal one and asked about the training and education received by all consultants who had been appointed for the first time to a post in general psychiatry, with at least 6 N.H.S. sessions, between 1 October 1963 and 30 September 1969 (R.M.P.A., 1969). A second survey, using a questionnaire much modified from the first, was made of consultants appointed between 1 October 1966 and 30 September 1969, using the same criteria of eligibility as the first group (Brook, 1972, 1973). The present enquiry used a postal questionnaire almost identical to that used for the previous group, which was circulated to consultants in general psychiatry appointed between 1 October 1969 and 30 September 1972.

The purpose of this article is to examine the extent to which gender or racial stereotypes are used to categorise or stigmatise inmates in the allocation of work, training and education in prisons. In setting out the impact of recent legislative reforms, the article begins by outlining the effects of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 and the changes resulting from the introduction of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) to the prison regime. The requirement, for the purposes of Sentence Planning, of documentary evidence of an inmate's education and training profile will be seen to have far reaching effects at all stages through a prisoner's sentence; and beyond, for the many prisoners who will be subject to a period of compulsory supervision after release. Yet, it will also be shown that the system operates to allow highly discriminatory decisions to be taken without proper accountability. The effectiveness and implementation of the Prison Department's equal opportunities policy will be considered. The article will conclude by recommending further research that specifically focuses on the allocation of opportunities for education and training for prisoners.
