from...from...; feed into; spanning a thirty-year career

老师,您好。以下摘自UNESCO关于表彰扫盲工作人员的一份出版物的序言。We read a personal and moving account of a friend and how he struggled to help shape a literacy programme which trans-formed and empowered in the real sense of the word. We hear from those who work in policy formulation, from a researcher, feeding into policy-making work spanning a thirty-year career in peace and war and we catch a glimpse of how international civil servants strive to influence a large bureaucracy whilst keeping their feet on the ground. Not to mention a chilling account of literacy efforts in time of civil war.
我对粗体部分很困惑。
1。 from those...from a researcher...researcher包括在those里,这样来举例,用法正式吗?
2。 feed into:字典里给出的用法都是:feed something into/to(http://dictionary.reverso.net/english-cobuild/feed——第6、7、11释义)。
3。 spanning a thirty-year career:...work spanning应该是由...work which spans,或者...work which is spanning变来的对吗?我觉得work spans+时间行,但搭配career不会很奇怪吗?work spans a thirty-year career?如果span是指researcher的话,那work和spanning之间也应该加上“,"才对呀。

[*]是不是可以理解为 from a researcher 前面省略了 for example?——有时为了增加语言的力度,用逗号来代替明确的关联词语。[*]参考朗文当代英语词典(feed 词条):
feed into something phrasal verb
to have an effect on something or help to make it happen:

1。 不过from a researcher那里,当时看老半天也没看出是对those的举例……
2。 老师,是不是朗文比柯林斯还全呐?
3。 果真不少啊~~事先应该自己要搜的~~
让老师费心了~~
