About
Hiam Serhan is a researcher working at the intersection of digital transformation and agricultural systems, with a particular focus on how emerging technologies are reshaping power dynamics and organizational structures within the agrifood sector. Her most notable contribution examines the rapid adoption of precision agriculture technologies — including drones, sensors, artificial intelligence, robotics, and image recognition — and the profound implications these tools carry for data governance and market equity. Serhan's work critically interrogates how digital platforms concentrate power among dominant actors in agricultural value chains, creating asymmetries that can disadvantage smaller producers and cooperatives. Crucially, she explores collective action as a potential counterweight to these imbalances, offering frameworks for how organizations can respond strategically to platform-driven disruption. Her 2020 paper on digitization and platforms in agriculture has accumulated 37 citations, reflecting meaningful scholarly uptake in a rapidly evolving field. By bridging agronomic innovation with political economy and organizational theory, Serhan's research offers valuable insights for policymakers, farmer organizations, and technology developers seeking to build more equitable and resilient digital agricultural ecosystems.
