This article combines a ‘zoomed-out’ political economic analysis of Dutch agriculture with a more ‘zoomed-in’ empirical exploration of small new entrant farmers who are carving out space for alternative food networks and practices in the Netherlands. Developing a concept of proto-regenerative imaginaries, we define proto-regenerative farmers as those farmers whose work is driven by a desire to contribute to social and ecological well-being. The use of the term ‘regenerative’ does not imply just the use of practices associated with ‘regenerative agriculture’, but to regeneration as a holistic framework rooted in a paradigm of care in which productive activities (e.g., agroecology) go hand in hand with the reproduction of social and ecological well-being. Data comes from an in-depth ethnographic study on a peri-urban farm that expanded to other farms and initiatives ( n = 5) within the network. Strategies used by farmers to carve out these spaces of regeneration include de-commodification of their produce through ‘solidarity payment’ schemes, the forging of reciprocal relationships and networks with other farmers, and

This article brings together phenomena not often connected in the rural studies cannon to show an underlying relationality connecting digital agriculture, conceptions of the good life and pursuits of happiness. Drawing from the scholarship of Sara Ahmed and Lauren Berlant, Agriculture 4.0 technologies are described as 'cruel' happiness pointers. These platforms are shown to direct actors towards happiness while potentially accelerating the very conditions that produced the problems they are promising to solve. Highlighting conceptions of the good life that are fluid, contested and multiple, which have connections to sayings and doings associated with these platforms, the analysis makes visible norms and values animating the so-called digital revolution. At the same time, the article interrogates what these changing affective politics means for the future of farming and farm-based identities, at least in Western countries. The data analysed, from individuals who had adopted smart farming applications in the US, were collected from focus groups and personal interviews, the latter conducted pre (2019) and post coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak (2020 and 2021).

Background: The accurate sensitivity of amyloid deposition in extracardiac tissue (subcutaneous tissue and gastrointestinal tract) has not been evaluated in transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of amyloid deposition in obtained endomyocardial and extracardiac biopsies.
Methods and results: This study retrospectively evaluated 175 consecutive ATTR-CM patients (wild-type [ATTRwt]: 134, hereditary [ATTRv]: 41) who had positive findings on 99 mTc-labeled pyrophosphate (99 mTc-PYP) scintigraphy and underwent tissue biopsy of at least one organ (subcutaneous tissue, gastrointestinal tract, and endomyocardium). Amyloid deposition was observed in the subcutaneous tissue of 57/150 patients (38%), gastrointestinal tract of 80/131 patients (61%), and endomyocardium of 108/109 patients (99%). Compared to patients with ATTRv, ATTRwt had significantly lower sensitivity in subcutaneous tissue (73% vs. 25%, P<0.01) and tended to be lower in the gastrointestinal tract (74% vs. 57%, P=0.08) biopsies. Among 124 patients who underwent both subcutaneous tissue and gastrointestinal tract biopsies, amyloid was detected in at least 1 specimen in 91 (73%) patients. The sensitivity of the combination of extracardiac biopsies was 66% and 94% in ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM, respectively. Multivariate analysis reveals that ATTRv was the only significant predictor of amyloid deposition in the subcutaneous tissue.
Conclusions: Subcutaneous tissue and gastrointestinal tract biopsy sensitivity are inadequate, especially in patients with ATTRwt; however, the combination of these extracardiac biopsies contributes to increased sensitivity in patients with positive 99 mTc-PYP scintigraphy findings.
