本文探讨了作为农业食品领域认证学科专业知识的场所的大学和研究机构内部和之间的知识政治形式。它调查了这一领域对农业食品社会科学专业知识的“开放性”，特别是当挑战主导的研究项目需要跨学科合作时。一个案例研究是由英国食品安全研究的多学科领域提供的，涉及对关键利益相关者的采访。本文考察了关键利益相关者如何理解这一研究领域的学科多样性。访谈数据根据社会科学学科的当前和潜在贡献，利益相关者对社会科学研究的不同想象方式，以及社会科学家自己是否认识到并与这些不同的想象保持一致，进行主题分析。这篇论文的结论是，英国的粮食安全研究领域只是对农业食品社会科学知识“有选择地开放”，这可能对解决粮食安全挑战产生负面影响。此外，如果要实现农业食品研究领域各学科之间的协作，那么农业食品知识政治学术和知识制造治理的重点就需要改变。
This paper explores a form of knowledge politics played out within and between universities and research institutes as sites of certified disciplinary expertise in the agro-food domain. It investigates the ‘openness’ of this domain to the expertise of the agro-food social sciences particularly when challenge-led research programmes require collaboration across disciplines. A case study is provided by the multi-discipline field of food security research in the UK involving interviews with key stakeholders. The paper examines how this research field’s disciplinary diversity is understood by key stakeholders. Interview data are analysed thematically in terms of the current and potential contribution of social science disciplines, the different ways in which stakeholders imagine social science research, and whether social scientists themselves recognise and align with these different imaginaries. The paper concludes by arguing that the field of food security research in the UK is only ‘selectively open’ to agro-food social science knowledges and that this is likely to have negative implications for addressing the challenges of food security. Further, if the promise of collaborative working between disciplines in agro-food research fields is to be made good then the emphasis of agro-food knowledge politics scholarship and the governance of knowledge making needs to change.
