The question animating this paper, then, is not whether climate services ‘work’ or deliver on their promises. It is rather: what worlds do they make possible, and what worlds do they unmake? What does it mean when adaptation becomes synonymous with datafication, when resilience requires financial inclusion, when farmers become ‘button pushers’ following algorithmic instructions? Crucially, can resistance and alternative visions still be possible when datafication exhausts all the possible? Rather than beginning with financialisation and capital as a structural force, we focus on how a visual construction of climate is epistemologically imposed through service mentalities and enabled the configuration of datafied agrarian subjectivities, amenable to value extraction, asset-creation and dispossession.
