Hello all!
First, I want to thank everyone who commented on
the first proposed research agenda question. If you have not had a
chance to read about everyone's work and thoughts on that question,
please do so when you get a chance!
We will now move on to the second proposed research question, which is:
"How does a more diverse and nutritious diet become culturally viable? (unpacking supply and demand for food)".
Please post a couple of paragraphs with your thoughts on this question (see below for a guide on what to comment on) by October 31.
Remember that the idea is not to restrict CAN’s work to a narrow field, but to identify the overlaps that exist in the work being done by network researchers. The four broad research questions to discuss and develop were based on discussions among CAN researcher liaisons, and the research work that CAN is currently doing. The questions are meant to be used as starting points of discussion, to be refined during the process, which is being approached as an exchange or dialogue among the CAN network researchers. The end goal is to have final research agenda questions that reflect the insights from the discussion, some text from the discussion that reflects CAN’s various experiences and lessons learned so far, and some ideas of specific bounded questions that inform the larger question.
Just to remind you, here is the process (with some small changes):
1. Please post a comment at least two paragraphs
long with your thoughts on the research question as it is, addressing the following
questions:
a.
What kind of research are you doing related to
this question (CAN-related or independent)?
b.
What are the lessons learned from your research
on this question?
c.
What kinds of specific questions are necessary
to answer the broad question?
d.
How can this question better reflect the work
you are doing? What are your
future plans for work related to this question?
2. All comments will be recorded in a discussion
thread, which means that you should respond to others’ postings and develop the
discussion! You have all also been invited as administrators of the blog, and
are welcome to start new posts with new discussion threads.3. Each question will be posted separately (consecutively) as separate blog posts with a few weeks of discussion for each question. Then the next week we will start the cycle over again with a three-week discussion on the following research question, until all four questions are completed.
4. CAN will Distill results from each question discussion. Adjust questions, synthesize comments/contributions. First draft of CAN research agenda with synthesis of experiences and lessons learned and ideas for future projects is expected in early 2012.

Estimados,
Primero, quisiera agradecerles a los que agregaron sus comentarios a la primera pregunta propuesta de investigación. Si no han tenido la oportunidad de revisar los comentarios de todos sobre su trabajo y pensamientos alrededor de la primera pregunta, favor de hacerlo cuando tenga un momento.
Ahora vamos a seguir adelante con la segunda pregunta:
"Cómo se hace mas viable culturalmente una dieta mas diversa y nutritiva? (deseempacando la oferta y la demanda)".
Favor de pegar unos dos párafos de sus pensamientos sobre esta pregunta antes del 31 de octubre (ver abajo un guia para comentarios).
Recuerdense que la meta no es restringir el trabajo de CAN a un campo estrecho, pero si queremos identificar los puntos de coincidencia que existan entre los proyectos y investigaciones de investigadores que trabajan con CAN. Las 4 preguntas fueron desarrolladas basadas en discusiones con los investigadores de CAN, y son puntos para comenzar el diálogo, para refinar en preguntas que al final definirán el trabajo de CAN como red, con texto que refleja las experiencias y lecciones aprendidas hasta ahora.
Para recordarles, el proceso es lo sigiuente:
1. Favor de poner unos dos párafos de comentarios enfocados en la pregunta propuesta, contestando las siguientes preguntas: Please post a comment at least two paragraphs
long with your thoughts on the research question as it is, addressing the following
questions:
a. Cómo son las investigaciones que usted está realizando alrededor de esta pregunta (relacionado con CAN o independiente)?
b.
Cuáles son las lecciones aprendidas hasta ahora en sus investigaciones sobre esta pregunta?
c.
Cuáles son las preguntas especificas o indicadores necesarios para contestar la pregunta global?
d.
Diganos cómo esta pregunta puede reflejar mejor el trabajo que usted está haciendo. Cuáles son sus futuros planes en respeto a trabajo relacionado a esta pregunta? How can this question better reflect the work
you are doing?
2. Debe de pegar sus comentarios como "comment" a la pregunta; el diálogo continua desde ahi.3. Cada pregunta será pegado en el blog aparte, con una discusión separada, hasta que las cuatro preguntas se termine.
4. Al final CAN procesará y sintesizará los resultados de cada pregunta.
