| Popis: |
Core sustainability issues concerning the governance of seeds revolve around knowledge aspects, such as intellectual property rights over genetic information or the role of traditional knowledge in plant breeding, seed production and seed use. While the importance of knowledge management for efficient and equitable seed governance has been emphasized in the scientific discourse on Seed Commons, knowledge aspects have not yet been adequately studied. With this paper, we aim to (i) demonstrate the relevance of knowledge aspects in Seed Commons, (ii) show current disconnections in knowledge governance between local Seed Commons and the global commons of plant genetic resources, and (iii) analyze the contribution of local and global knowledge governance to environmentally sustainable and culturally adapted seed systems. For this purpose, we will analyze knowledge governance aspects of two local Seed Commons, a Philippine farmer-led network and a German organic-breeding association, and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Since most analytical frameworks in commons studies are specified for application to either material or immaterial resources, we take the lens of the social practices of commoning. We adapt and apply the commons conceptualization by Kostakis & Bauwens (2014) as an analytical framework to describe, compare and relate the knowledge governance aspects of local and international Seed Commons. The main challenges are finding institutional arrangements which integrate aspects from both traditional and scientific knowledge systems, taking into account the complex interrelation between knowledge-related, material and cultural aspects of seeds. |
