This study provides a way to bring smallholder farmers’ experiences to the fore in the biodiesel debate. I interviewed smallholder farmers participating in government led biodiesel schemes in Brazil and Timor-Leste. <br>These two biodiesel schemes were chosen due to similarities between the rural development and social inclusion goals of each scheme. I used a transdisciplinary research approach that was problem-centred, collaborative and methodologically flexible. Through the application of Grounded Theory Method to the farmer informants’ narratives, I developed a novel conceptual framework titled the Autonomous Livelihood Framework. <br>Archiving the data was approved by the University of Technology Sydney Human Research Ethics Committee - project protocol 2010-105A. <br>Each farmer informant was explicitly asked about inclusion of their material in the databank and informed about the embargo periods imposed on the data. All data included in this dataset has been approved by the farmer participants. <br>采访参与者：雷蒙多·德·热苏斯·桑托斯（Raimundo de Jesus Santos）<br>采访地点（城镇/区/州/国家）：巴西巴伊亚州乌纳市卡扎泽罗1号项目02马约农场<br>采访日期：2010年6月5日<br>采访语言：葡萄牙语<br>博士研究课题：《生物柴油生产中的社会可持续性：巴西与东帝汶》<br>所属大学：悉尼科技大学（University of Technology Sydney）<br>主研究员：萨里娜·基尔汉（Sarina Kilham）<br>副研究员（如有）：埃德尼尔松·里贝罗·桑托斯（摄像师）；埃德松·F·马塞多（司机）<br>资助来源：本研究部分经费由澳大利亚研究生奖学金（Australian Postgraduate Award）与ETC能源拨款（ETC Energy Grant）提供<br>采访视频：有<br>采访音频：有<br>受访者无需匿名：否<br><b><br></b><b>项目总体概况</b><br>本研究为萨里娜·基尔汉（Sarina Kilham）博士阶段开展的质性跨学科研究项目。<br>本研究旨在考察小农参与生物柴油项目的现状，以及生物柴油项目融入农村生计的具体路径，致力于将小农的实践经验纳入生物柴油相关讨论的核心视野。笔者采访了参与巴西及东帝汶政府主导生物柴油项目的小农。选择这两个生物柴油项目的原因在于二者在农村发展与社会包容目标上具有高度相似性。本研究采用以问题为核心、协作式且方法论灵活的跨学科研究路径，通过扎根理论法（Grounded Theory Method）分析受访农户的叙事内容，构建了名为“自主生计框架”的新型概念框架。<br>本数据集的归档工作已获得悉尼科技大学人类研究伦理委员会批准，项目审批编号为2010-105A。<br>所有受访农户均被明确告知其访谈内容将纳入数据库，并知晓数据的封存期限。本数据集收录的全部数据均已获得受访参与者的正式同意。
