| Résumé : |
The importance of seed provisioning in food security and nutrition, agricultural development and rurallivelihoods, and agrobiodiversity and germplasm conservation is well accepted by policy makers, practi-tioners and researchers. The role of farmer seed networks is less well understood and yet is central todebates on current issues ranging from seed sovereignty and rights for farmers to GMOs and the conser-vation of crop germplasm. In this paper we identify four common misconceptions regarding the natureand importance of farmer seed networks today. (1) Farmer seed networks are inefficient for seed dissem-ination. (2) Farmer seed networks are closed, conservative systems. (3) Farmer seed networks provideready, egalitarian access to seed. (4) Farmer seed networks are destined to weaken [...] The importance of seed provisioning in food security and nutrition, agricultural development and rurallivelihoods, and agrobiodiversity and germplasm conservation is well accepted by policy makers, practi-tioners and researchers. The role of farmer seed networks is less well understood and yet is central todebates on current issues ranging from seed sovereignty and rights for farmers to GMOs and the conser-vation of crop germplasm. In this paper we identify four common misconceptions regarding the natureand importance of farmer seed networks today. (1) Farmer seed networks are inefficient for seed dissem-ination. (2) Farmer seed networks are closed, conservative systems. (3) Farmer seed networks provideready, egalitarian access to seed. (4) Farmer seed networks are destined to weaken and disappear. Wechallenge these misconceptions by drawing upon recent research findings and the authors’ collectivefield experience in studying farmer seed systems in Africa, Europe, Latin America and Oceania.Priorities for future research are suggested that would advance our understanding of seed networksand better inform agricultural and food policy. |
