Digital Harvest may be regarded as a companion to a deeper body of work—a trilogy of books: Power Play: The Future of Food (2024), Sickening Profits (2023) and Food, Dependency and Dispossession (2022). Those books trace the arc of global food systems across power, profit and policy. This current book steps to the side—not to summarise, but to provoke. To distil and to connect some dots left scattered across hundreds of pages. It’s an entry point for new readers and a lens of reinterpretation and clarification for those who have travelled further. It offers a series of dispatches from the frontlines of corporate agriculture. Each chapter names names: Bayer, Microsoft, Amazon, Cargill, the asset managers, the Gates Foundation, Syngenta. Together, they help make up an architecture—not a conspiracy, but a structure. They don’t need to speak to each other. Their incentives simply align. These are not firms that merely influence agriculture. They are actively rewriting its foundations. Some wear the mask of philanthropy. Others prefer quiet control. But all operate within a model that treats farming as an extractive interface and the farmer as a data point. Digital Harvest is not a lament. It’s a warning. Because the future of food is not up for debate. It’s already being built. And the question is: by whom, and for whom?
