农业食品研究的理论视野和当代政治相关性受到其在现代主义本体论中未经检验的方法论基础的限制。自然-社会二元论是这一本体论的核心，它将农业食品研究及其“母体”学科置于正统社会科学之外，排除在推进社会理论绿色化的广泛知识工程之外，并阻碍了与环境组织和绿色运动的生物政治学的有效接触。通过分析最近的几个理论观点，探讨了农业食品研究中的自然擦除的致残后果：消费“转向”的工作罚款，马斯登和他们各自的同事，和瓦赫宁根演员为导向的农村社会学。行动者网络理论在解决这些本体论的局限性的优点，然后考虑使用简短的案例研究的食品恐慌，农业生物技术，以及最近的建议，以规范有机农业在美国。
The theoretical purview and contemporary political relevance of agro-food studies are restricted by their unexamined methodological foundations in modernist ontology. The nature-society dualism at the core of this ontology places agro-food studies, and their 'parent' disciplines in the orthodox social sciences, outside the broad intellectual project that is advancing the greening of social theory, and militates against effective engagement with the bio-politics of environmental organizations and Green movements. The disabling consequences of the erasure of nature in agro-food studies are explored by analyzing several recent theoretical perspectives: the consumption 'turn' in the work of Fine, Marsden and their respective colleagues, and Wageningen actor-oriented rural sociology. The merits of actor-network theory in resolving these ontological limitations are then considered using brief case-studies of food scares, agri-biotechnologies, and the recent proposals to regulate organic agriculture in the United States.
