This Science and Technology Studies Dissertation Improvement Grant will provide funds to the doctoral student to collect needed data in order to better enable completion of the dissertation. The NSF fund will support fieldwork in Indonesia in order to conduct interviews with key players in food policies in addition to some archival research. This project will examine the increasing "nutritionalization" of food policies in Indonesia and its impacts. The research will utilize ethnographic investigation of science and commodity analysis on wheat, chicken and rice. "Nutritionalization" refers to the shift of policies from increasing food production towards enhancing the micronutrient status in developing countries. This change in focus from hunger to "hidden hunger" has occurred since the 1990s. Scholarly contribution will be made in three areas. (1) Firstly, this research addresses the neglected role of nutritional science in food politics in developing countries. Existing literature on science in food has focused on green revolution technology. Given its historical importance in colonial and development practices, not enough attention has been paid to nutritional science. Rather than taking the ascendance of nutritional science for granted, however, the present project asks how nutritional science has attained a privileged status. The researcher will investigate the process in which nutritionalization has taken place by taking Indonesia as an example. (2) The detailed investigation of the localized workings of science is the second contribution of this research. This is contrasted with two dominant perspectives on science's role in developing countries. The literature was dominated by simple diffusion perspective. More recently, this diffusionist view has been critiqued by postmodern critics of development. However, these recent studies have paradoxically overlooked the contradictions in the increasing techno-science in developing countries, because these studies have focused on the larger project of unveiling the hegemony of development discourse. The present research address what these existing studies have largely remained silent - the complex history of disciplines and actors. divergent viewpoints. By conducting in-depth interviews and analysis of history of the scholarly debates, the present research seeks to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of how scientization take place in a particular place and time. (3) Third contribution is to concretely analyze the impacts of nutritionalization. The present study also works as a useful corrective to science and technology studies which have explained the impact of scientization in abstract terms. By examining the impact of nutritionalization on different commodities (chicken, rice and wheat), the study addresses the material impact of the global circulation of knowledge. Nutritionalization characterizes many food politics in developing countries. Yet the paucity of empirical information on such food policies prevents an adequate assessment of their soundness. The proposed study will in all likelihood be the first to measure the process and the consequences of latest phase of food politics in Indonesia, and perhaps in the global South as a whole. Particularly by examining the material impacts of nutritionalization, this research will help critique the dominant food policies and suggest the potential of alternatives to improve the social and ecological sustainability of food systems in developing countries.

这项科学和技术研究论文改进补助金将为博士生提供资金，以收集所需的数据，以便更好地完成论文。NSF基金将支持在印度尼西亚的实地工作，以便除了一些档案研究之外，还与粮食政策的主要参与者进行访谈。该项目将审查印度尼西亚日益“营养化”的粮食政策及其影响。 本研究将利用科学民族志调查和小麦、鸡肉和大米的商品分析。 “营养化”是指政策从增加粮食生产转向提高发展中国家的微量营养素状况。从1990年代以来，重点从饥饿转向“隐性饥饿”。 奖学金将在三个方面提供。 (1)首先，这项研究解决了营养科学在发展中国家食品政治中被忽视的作用。现有的食品科学文献主要集中在绿色革命技术上。 鉴于其在殖民和发展实践中的历史重要性，营养科学没有得到足够的重视。 然而，本项目并不认为营养科学的优势是理所当然的，而是询问营养科学是如何获得特权地位的。 研究人员将以印度尼西亚为例，调查营养化发生的过程。 (2)对科学局部化运作的详细调查是本研究的第二个贡献。 这与关于科学在发展中国家的作用的两种主流观点形成对比。 文献主要是简单的扩散视角。最近，这种扩散主义观点受到了后现代发展批评家的批评。 然而，这些最近的研究却自相矛盾地忽视了发展中国家日益增长的技术科学中的矛盾，因为这些研究集中在揭露发展话语霸权的更大项目上。 目前的研究解决了这些现有的研究在很大程度上保持沉默-学科和演员的复杂历史。不同的观点。 通过对学术争论历史的深入访谈和分析，本研究试图更全面地了解科学化是如何在特定的时间和地点发生的。 (3)第三个贡献是具体分析了营养化的影响。本研究也是对科学和技术研究的有益纠正，这些研究用抽象的术语解释了科学化的影响。通过审查营养化对不同商品（鸡肉、大米和小麦）的影响，研究报告探讨了全球知识流通的物质影响。 营养化是发展中国家许多粮食政策的特点。然而，由于缺乏关于这种粮食政策的经验资料，无法对其合理性进行充分评估。 拟议的研究很可能是第一个衡量印度尼西亚，甚至整个南半球粮食政治最新阶段的过程和后果的研究。 特别是通过研究营养化的物质影响，这项研究将有助于批评占主导地位的粮食政策，并提出替代方案的潜力，以改善发展中国家粮食系统的社会和生态可持续性。
