The research team will work with agricultural extension agents, policy makers, multilateral development agencies and organizations, and farmers, employing a range of methods including document analysis, open-ended interviews, surveys, participatory mapping, and ethnographic observation to explore relationship between the professionalization of agricultural scientists and extension agents and the spread of agro-industrial commodity production. The results will contribute to understanding the complex factors affecting food security. Results will include a doctoral dissertation, undergraduate course materials, and multiple publications. The PI has a strong track record of presenting to relevant agencies and meeting with high level staff and will seek to present the results of the project in such venues.

研究团队将与农业推广机构、政策制定者、多边发展机构和组织以及农民合作，采用文献分析、开放式访谈、调查、参与式制图和民族志观察等多种方法，探讨农业科学家和推广机构的专业化与农工商品生产传播之间的关系。研究结果将有助于了解影响粮食安全的复杂因素。成果将包括博士论文、本科课程材料和多篇出版物。该项目负责人在向相关机构进行演示以及与高层工作人员会面方面有着良好的记录，并将寻求在此类场所展示项目成果。
