Abstract
Recent scholarship explores the links between food security and the life-making strategies of rural populations. This study extends the analysis to a centre of Southeast Asia's oil palm plantation complex. It examines the social reproduction processes that facilitate the generation of substantial profit margins alongside patterns of deep nutritional insecurity. Drawing on fieldwork in Sumatra and integrating perspectives from agrarian change, social reproduction, and food system analysis, this study unravels the interconnections between the plantation economy, gendered life-making practices, and poor nutritional outcomes. This research argues that the confluence of migratory patterns, relational dynamics governing land and labour in the oil palm economy, food system transformations, and the exploitation of low-income women's labour coalesces into a critical nexus of climate precarity and nutritional deficiency. Policies to tackle food and nutritional insecurity and stunting need to address the processes that deplete opportunities for life-making among low-income families in oil palm landscapes.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
