All Americans are affected by food safety and quality as well as the sustainability of the agrifood system. Citizen science can improve food and agriculture in multiple ways, from assessing access to nutritious food in low income communities, to monitoring pesticide drift from farms, to responding to health impacts of concentrated animal feeding operations. In citizen science projects, members of the public collaborate with scientific institutions or non-profit organizations to collect data and monitor local conditions that influence sustainability and health in agrifood systems. This workshop establishes a research agenda for citizen science in the agrifood system. The workshop convenes social and natural scientists and non-profit organizations to share their experiences with citizen science on food and agricultural issues. The workshop provides the potential for networking among professional scientists and citizen scientists and has the potential to advance agrifood systems research for broader societal impacts.Discussion focuses on five issues: public participation in research agenda setting; the potential for citizen science to advance holistic analysis of the agrifood system; the influence of gender, race and class on participation in citizen science; citizen science as a form of collective action for social justice and sustainability groups; and the institutional resources necessary to bridge citizen science-generated data and policy change. Participants prepare and circulate short position papers in advance of the workshop. Participants then work intensively in small groups to compare and synthesize their experiences and perspectives, to develop a clear trajectory for future research and policy action in this domain. Social scientists facilitate discussion and identify opportunities for further collaboration, with attention to equity and justice. A keynote address and panel discussion are open to the public and video-recorded for viewing on a public website created to disseminate the outcomes of the workshop. Results are disseminated through a public website that includes the workshop agenda, conference papers, an executive summary of the event, and video of the keynote address. Additionally, the workshop supports publication of an edited volume or special journal issue on the process of translation between agrifood-related scholarly research, citizen science, and public policy.

所有美国人都受到食品安全和质量以及农业食品系统可持续性的影响。公民科学可以通过多种方式改善粮食和农业，从评估低收入社区获得营养食品的情况，到监测农场的农药漂移，再到应对集中动物饲养作业对健康的影响。在公民科学项目中，公众与科学机构或非营利组织合作，收集数据并监测影响农业食品系统可持续性和健康的当地条件。该研讨会为农业食品系统中的公民科学制定了研究议程。该研讨会召集社会和自然科学家以及非营利组织，与公民科学分享他们在食品和农业问题上的经验。研讨会为专业科学家和公民科学家之间建立网络提供了可能性，并有可能推进农业食品系统研究，以产生更广泛的社会影响，讨论集中在五个问题上：公众参与研究议程的制定;公民科学促进农业食品系统整体分析的潜力;性别、种族和阶级对参与公民科学的影响;公民科学作为社会正义和可持续性团体集体行动的一种形式;以及连接公民科学产生的数据和政策变化所需的机构资源。与会者在讲习班之前编写和分发简短的立场文件。然后，与会者在小组中密集工作，比较和综合他们的经验和观点，为这一领域的未来研究和政策行动制定明确的轨迹。社会科学家促进讨论，并确定进一步合作的机会，同时关注公平和正义。主旨发言和小组讨论向公众开放，并录制了视频，供在为传播讲习班成果而创建的公共网站上观看。成果通过一个公共网站传播，其中包括讲习班议程、会议文件、活动执行摘要和主旨发言视频。此外，该研讨会还支持出版一本编辑的卷或关于农业食品相关学术研究，公民科学和公共政策之间翻译过程的特殊期刊。
