Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this we used a novel futures-oriented participatory approach that asked what future envisioned systems might need look how get there. Findings suggest will be much more...
Commons approaches in the seed sector are multi-faceted: They span from traditional systems, i.e. sharing networks, to recent anti-enclosure movements that resist intellectual property rights on varieties, like organic breeding initiatives. This paper derives a conceptualization of ‘Seed Commons’ at local and regional level, based comprehensive transdisciplinary research process integrates diverse types knowledge, both practitioners (German Philippine initiatives, companies NGOs), scientific...
Abstract The Filipino agricultural sector is exposed to multiple climatic, economic, and social risks that will likely intensify in the near future. Building agroecological resilience has been proposed protect small-scale farmers’ livelihoods improve food security context of (unexpected) shocks disruptions, slow system changes such as climate change. This paper argues commons-based seed production, based on collective management ownership seeds varieties, can play a central role building...
Abstract Core sustainability issues concerning the governance of seeds revolve around knowledge aspects, such as intellectual property rights over genetic information or role traditional in plant breeding, seed production and use. While importance management for efficient equitable has been emphasized scientific discourse on Seed Commons, aspects have not yet comprehensively studied. With this paper, we aim to (i) analyze both global local/regional (ii) highlight disconnections between local...
Building resilience in food systems is a priority to meet societal challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. However, there has been little systematic research on the role of seed production fostering agroecological resilience. The increasing commercialization privatization conventional industry result development use only small number high-yielding varieties. To counter this trend, new organizational approaches governance structures plant breeding build upon common ownership...
In this paper, we argue that small initiatives can contribute to larger transformations if they challenge and unmake incumbent unsustainable paradigms, demonstrate how the application of social-ecological transformation framework helps operationalize analysis paradigm shifts across different levels transformation. Empirically, assess contribution Seed Commons agri-food systems transformations, taking case organic breeding association Kultursaat e.V. At macro level, reveals paradigms...
Abstract Critical consumerism is the conscious choice of purchasing or avoiding products for ethical environmental reasons. As an increasing share consumer attempts to purchase sustainably produced food, credence attributes, which are product qualities that not easily observable verifiable during consumption, gain importance. Variety ownership has so far played any role in food consumption choices but a new type attribute may relevance through recent introduction open‐source seed licenses....
Recently, neuroscientists have argued that elementary ways of organizing, perceiving, and justifying social relations lurk behind the diversity life. In developing grid-group typology, anthropologist Mary Douglas proposed such universal forms. If these are universal, then we could expect other widely cited classifications to overlap with typology. We tested this expectation by examining which extent elements Douglas’s typology those 39 highly influential since 1970. established calculating...
Fast die Hälfte der Fläche EU wird landwirtschaftlich genutzt. Daraus ergeben sich vielfältigeWechselwirkungen zwischen Landwirtschaft und Umwelt. Die EU‑Agrarpolitik hat großen Einfluss auf Nutzung Flächen, trägt bislang jedoch wenig dazu bei, negative Umweltwirkungen zu vermindern. Mit dem richtigen Policy-Mix könnte dies zukünftig ändern.
Der Biodiversitätsverlust auf den Feldern ist bedingt durch Anbau einer sinkenden Zahl von Hochleistungssorten, die wenigen großen Unternehmen gezüchtet und angeboten werden. Seed Commons schaffen hier Alternativen, vielfältigem Saatgut seinen ökologischen sozialen Wert zurückgeben.
Einführung in das Schwerpunktthema
This paper applies the social-ecological transformation framework to assess contribution of Seed Commons initiatives in Germany and Philippines agri-food systems transformations. At macro level, analysis shows that incumbent, unsustainable paradigms ‘materialistic culture growth’; ‘control autonomy humans over nature’ ‘expert knowledge specialization’ are deeply embedded dominant system. challenge them by promoting alternative narratives such as agroecology, food sovereignty, farmers’ rights...
