This research integrates two goals: to survey, document, and disseminate knowledge about innovation in alternative agriculture to the human-centered computing community, and to support alternative-agricultural innovation practices using system design approaches to develop novel technologies that build on and extend what is already happening on a diversity of experimental farms. In response to population increases, growing food demand, changing diets, and climate change, recent years have seen a surge in the use of information communication technologies in agriculture. Experimental farms carry forward many of the same underlying sociotechnical structures that helped to define the maker movement, but as yet they are not yet understood or supported. These structures include increasingly powerful end-user technologies, networks of knowledgeable and passionate practitioners, inquiry objectives relevant to computer science, and high benefit for their communities.A major phase of the project will conduct ethnographic fieldwork that relies on a combination of participant observation, analysis of cultural and technological artifacts, and semi-structured interviews conducted within each of two research sites. One will examine alternative, IT-enabled farming practices in Taiwan to reveal how farmers experimentally innovate on a day-to-day basis. The other will focus on agricultural experiments in Indiana to understand and document how farmers, policymakers, and technologists use technology to address critical challenges in food production and sustainability and how agriculture-technology-oriented initiatives cultivate high-tech, high-skilled farmers of the future. Another phase of the research will combine documentary, discourse, and oral history analysis of policy materials from governments of both field sites to identify alignments and misalignments that either facilitate or undercut efforts intended to support agricultural innovation. The ethnographic work, oral histories and discourse analyses will be inputs into co-design workshops that will be informed by principles of participatory design. They will test promising agriculture technology breakthroughs, challenges, and tactics identified in the ethnographic engagements, and will take the form of "design sprints," a highly structured process widely used in the US tech industry for answering crucial questions with stakeholders, characterized by mapping the problem terrain, identifying risks and opportunities, concept generation, prototyping, evaluation and testing.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.

这项研究融合了两个目标：调查，记录和传播有关以人为中心的计算社区的替代农业创新的知识，并使用系统设计方法来支持替代性农业创新实践，以开发基于实验农场多样性的新型技术，并扩展了已经发生的事情。 为了响应人口的增加，粮食需求的增长，饮食不断变化和气候变化，近年来，信息通信技术在农业中的使用激增。实验农场提出了许多有助于定义制造商运动的基本社会技术结构，但尚未得到理解或支持。这些结构包括越来越强大的最终用户技术，知识渊博和热情的实践者网络，与计算机科学相关的询问目标以及对其社区的高处。人们将研究台湾的替代性，支持IT的农业实践，以揭示农民如何每天进行实验创新。 另一个将重点关注印第安纳州的农业实验，以了解和记录农民，决策者和技术人员如何使用技术来应对粮食生产和可持续性的关键挑战，以及农业技术导向的倡议如何培养未来的高科技，高技能的农民。 研究的另一阶段将结合纪录片，话语和口述历史分析对两个现场政府的政策材料的分析，以确定促进或削弱旨在支持农业创新的努力的一致性和未对准。 人种学工作，口述历史和话语分析将被输入共同设计的研讨会，以参与式设计的原则告知。 They will test promising agriculture technology breakthroughs, challenges, and tactics identified in the ethnographic engagements, and will take the form of "design sprints," a highly structured process widely used in the US tech industry for answering crucial questions with stakeholders, characterized by mapping the problem terrain, identifying risks and opportunities, concept generation, prototyping, evaluation and testing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been认为值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持。
