Semiotics is the study of signs and meaning-making. According to Daniel Chandler, in his work Semiotics: The Basics, “semiotics involves the study not only of what we refer to as 'signs' in everyday speech, but of anything which 'stands for' something else.” The visual semiotics of agriculture are the observations of the images (namely photographs) surrounding agriculture . This article will look at the symbolic, icon, and indexical modes of visual agricultural images. Visual signs of agriculture Employing the framework of semiotics to understand the visual semiotics of agriculture, this article discusses the visual signs of agriculture in terms of photographs and imagesselected from various studies. According to Paul Martin Lester, semiotics helps to identify the symbols used in images to determine their meanings for society as a whole. Images as signs of agriculture Agricultural images, according to King and Rhodes, when viewed as semiotic signs of agriculture are viewed on a scale. People with high exposure to agriculture (those with agricultural backgrounds such as FFA, family farms, etc.) tend to associate agricultural images with day-to-day tasks ( such as operating farm equipment or getting things ready to plant) and objects such as muddy boots or farm tools. Those with low exposure to agriculture (those who grew up in suburban or urban areas) tend to associate the images of agriculture with agricultural or open-space landscapes and finished agricultural food products in grocery stores. There are also those with medium exposure to agriculture, who view agricultural images as somewhere in between industrial and open-space settings of agriculture.
