Recovering res communis from res propia: How Does Open Source Seed Contribute to Farmers’ Seed Rights and Breeding for Diversity
The current complex seed governance framework, and the increasingly oligopolistic seed industry that has championed it, have created a series of seed enclosures that exclude farmers and many breeders from freely accessing, sharing and improving seed, and constraining their freedom to operate and cooperate. Opposing the resulting ongoing loss of both cultivated diversity and farmers’ seed rights, experimental initiatives applying open source model…
Response to Bennett et al. Comment
Reply to Bennett, A, Van Deynze, A, Shapiro, H-Y, Weimer, B. 2024. An informed response to Kloppenburg et al. (2024)—Nagoya Protocol. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1525/elementa.2024.00012
The Nagoya Protocol and nitrogen-fixing maize: Close encounters between Indigenous Oaxacans and the men from Mars (Inc.)
In this article, we discuss the Nagoya Protocol and its implications for access and benefit-sharing (ABS) agreements related to genetic resources and biodiversity. We analyze a case study of the appropriation of olotón, a maize variety with an unusual nitrogen-fixing trait grown in many communities throughout Oaxaca and probably beyond that region. Samples of olotón were acquired by scientists affiliated with Mars, Inc., the University of Califor…
Le pouvoir de la biodiversité: Néolibéralisation de la nature dans les pays émergents
Depuis vingt ans, la communauté internationale promeut le développement de contrats d'accès aux ressources génétiques afin d'assurer une exploitation durable et équitable de la biodiversité. On constate cependant que les impacts de telles politiques sont limités, en termes de conservation de la nature comme de justice environnementale ou de retombées financières pour les populations locales. Leur influence sur les agendas et les positionnements d…
Re-purposing the master's tools: The Open Source Seed Initiative and the Struggle for Seed Sovereignty
Food sovereignty' must necessarily encompass 'seed sovereignty'. Corporate appropriation of plant genetic resources, development of transgenic crops and the global imposition of intellectual property rights are now widely recognized as serious constraints on the free exchange of seeds and the development of new cultivars by farmers, public breeders and small seed companies. In response, an Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) has been launched in t…
Impeding Dispossession, Enabling Repossession: Biological Open Source and the Recovery of Seed Sovereignty
Corporate appropriation of genetic resources, development and deployment of transgenic varieties, and the global imposition of intellectual property rights are now widely recognized as moments of accumulation by dispossession. Though robust and globally distributed, opposition to such processes have been largely defensive in orientation, and even accommodationist in demands for the development of market mechanisms for compensating those from whom…

First the Seed: The Political Economy of Plant Biotechnology
First the Seed spotlights the history of plant breeding and shows how efforts to control the seed have shaped the emergence of the agricultural biotechnology industry. This second edition of a classic work in the political economy of science includes an extensive, new chapter updating the analysis to include the most recent developments in the struggle over the direction of crop genetic engineering.
Bringing the 'Moral Charge' Home: Fair Trade within the North and within the South
Fair trade is typically understood as an alternative market system that aims to right historically inequitable terms of trade between the geopolitical North and South and foster more direct producer/consumer linkages. We suggest that a more expansive application of the term 'fair trade' to encompass agro-food initiatives within the North and South has considerable analytic and practical utility. We profile five such initiatives in the United Stat…
Tasting Food, Tasting Sustainability: Defining the Attributes of an Alternative Food System with Competent, Ordinary People
Initiatives intended to create alternatives to the conventional, industrialized, global food system are now emerging. Conceptual framings of alternative food systems have been based principally on the reflections of academics and policy specialists rather than on the views of the producers and eaters who constitute the bulk of the food localization movement. At a conference hosted by the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, we explored the attr…

Where the Grass Grows Again: Knowledge Exchange in the Sustainable Agriculture Movement1
Many analysts of sustainable agriculture have given considerable attention to issues of knowledge production, but in general they have not engaged social movement theory. This neglect is addressed by examining the emergence of intensive rotational grazing as a local expression of the sustainable agriculture movement. Conceptual frameworks drawn from recent contributions to social movement theory are used to describe the cognitive praxis of grazie…

Social Theory and the De/Reconstruction of Agricultural Science: Local Knowledge for an Alternative Agriculture1
As a result of environmental and agrarian activism and of academic critique, a substantial amount of space is available now for moving agricultural technoscience onto new trajectories. A critical rural sociology has played a key role in pushing forward the deconstructive project that has been instrumental in creating this space. And rural sociologists can be active agents in the reconstruction of the alternative science that must emerge from 'act…
