在全球范围内，标准管理和组织粮食的生产和交换。本文运用科学和技术研究中的见解来研究加纳菠萝业中多种标准的翻译。这些数据展示了一个转换过程，最好将其描述为嵌套。嵌套是生产者将多种标准转化为由人类和非人类行为者组成的局部应急网络的过程，这一网络以完美的成果为物质表现。为了实现嵌套，生产商要制定组织内的集体实践，我们称之为：确定标准的优先顺序，登记添加剂，以及创建残留物。嵌套的概念解释了食品生产商如何在转换多个标准的同时，重新获得代理。虽然嵌套使我们能够谈论实施多种标准意味着什么，这些标准实质上体现了消费者对完美的愿景，但它也对标准社会学、标准采用文献和组织研究做出了贡献。
Globally, standards govern and organise the production and exchange of food. This article uses insights from science and technology studies to study the translation of multiple standards in the Ghanaian pineapple industry. The data demonstrate a translation process that is best described as nesting. Nesting is the process through which producers translate multiple standards into a locally contingent network of human and non-human actors, which is represented materially by the perfect fruit. For nesting to take place, producers develop intra-organisational collective practices that we call: prioritising standards, enrolling additives, and creating residues. The concept of nesting explains how food producers translate multiple standards, while simultaneously regaining agency. While nesting enables us to speak about what it means to implement the multiple standards that materially embody the consumers’ vision of perfection, it also contributes to the sociology of standards, the literature on standards adoption, and organisation studies.
