The goals of this project are to (1) investigate the potential social impact of ubiquitous, low-cost, high-bandwidth communication infrastructure on America's farms, and (2) develop options for improving the social impact of these technologies. New networking solutions to support high-bandwidth on-farm data communication will enable the collection of massive amounts of sensor data, its transmission to the cloud or other servers, and its processing and use for agricultural decision-making. These shifts stand poised to transform agricultural production and economic organization. This project will pursue values in design research into next generation network solutions for agriculture, as well as empirical research with agricultural stakeholders currently engaging information-rich approaches to farm management. The project will integrate concerns of agribusiness stakeholders into the early stages of on-farm networking development; foster informed discussion among technical, agricultural, and policy stakeholders about the potential social impact of this technology; and develop and disseminate practical policy and design options to improve the social impact of on-farm networking. It will support the training of students from underrepresented groups in research through summer research workshops in networking, design for social impact, and the futures of digital agriculture.The research adapts techniques to integrate societal considerations in the early stages of technology design, in order to manage the specific challenges that come up in addressing the social impact of infrastructure. The project will (1) use ethnographic participant-observation in the development of farm networking technology and collaboration with technical partners to identify moments where technical decisions could be associated with social impact challenges; (2) conduct fieldwork with agricultural stakeholders to analyze how existing infrastructures incorporating analogous technologies are shaping and shaped by emerging social practices to create specific impacts; (3) develop future design scenarios that flesh out and concretize potential relationships between technological decisions, future policies and organizational practices, and the resulting benefits and drawbacks; and (4) use these scenarios to collaboratively identify specific technical, organizational, and policy options that could improve the benefits or reduce the drawbacks of on-farm high-bandwidth communication technologies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目的目标是（1）调查无处不在，低成本，高带宽沟通基础设施对美国农场的潜在社会影响，（2）开发了改善这些技术社会影响的选择。 新的网络解决方案以支持高带宽在农场数据通信中，将使大量传感器数据，其传输到云或其他服务器以及其处理和用于农业决策制定的处理和使用。这些转变有望改变农业生产和经济组织。该项目将在为农业的下一代网络解决方案以及与农业利益相关者进行目前吸引信息丰富的农业管理方法的农业利益相关者的实证研究中追求价值。该项目将将农业综合企业利益相关者的关注纳入农场网络开发的早期阶段；福斯特（Foster）在技术，农业和政策利益相关者之间就该技术的潜在社会影响进行了了解；并制定并传播实用政策和设计选择，以改善农场网络的社会影响。它将通过夏季研究研讨会，网络设计，社会影响设计和数字农业的未来进行研究。研究适应了在技术设计的早期阶段整合社会考虑因素，以管理解决基础构造社会影响的特定挑战。该项目（1）将使用民族志参与者观察来开发农场网络技术，并与技术合作伙伴合作，以确定技术决策可能与社会影响挑战相关的时刻； （2）与农业利益相关者进行实地考察，以分析如何通过新兴的社会实践来塑造和塑造现有的基础设施，以创造特定的影响； （3）开发未来的设计方案，以充实并具体化技术决策，未来政策和组织实践以及由此产生的利益和缺点之间的潜在关系； （4）使用这些方案来协作确定特定的技术，组织和政策选择，这些方案可以改善收益或减少在农场高宽带沟通技术的弊端。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查审查的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
