In the context of global agrocommodity supply chains, the sociotechnical imaginary of neoliberal sustainability is characterized by a belief that the impactfulness of market-based solutions like fair trade standards and voluntary certification schemes relies on the transparency and traceability of those supply chains. Achieving transparency and traceability, however, relies on the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data about numerous social, environmental, and economic factors, data that are generated through increasingly intensive regimes of high-tech monitoring and surveillance. For my interlocutors, who work to design and promote these standards, surveillance comes to be seen as not only justified but also expected and necessary, leading to the tacit categorization of certain spaces (and the human and non-human actors who populate them) as surveillable. In the case of sustainability standards specifically, which are imposed almost exclusively on producers in the Global South, the notion of surveillable space raises important questions about race and gender.

想象对全球供应链的影响：数据驱动的可持续性和可监视空间的生产

在全球农产品供应链的背景下，新自由主义可持续性的社会技术想象的特点是相信公平贸易标准和自愿认证计划等基于市场的解决方案的影响取决于这些供应链的透明度和可追溯性。然而，实现透明度和可追溯性依赖于收集、分析和传播有关众多社会、环境和经济因素的数据，这些数据是通过日益密集的高科技监测和监视制度产生的。对于我的对话者来说，他们致力于设计和推广这些标准，监视不仅被认为是合理的，而且是预期和必要的，导致将某些空间（以及居住在其中的人类和非人类行为者）默认归类为可监视的。特别是可持续性标准，几乎完全适用于全球南方的生产者，可监视空间的概念提出了有关种族和性别的重要问题。
