Abstract

"The author argues that a radical re-orientation of public policies is needed to support autonomous seed production. Poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation both directly depend on: 1) Strengthening diversity-based farming systems; 2) Institutional support for decentralised seed systems; 3) Shifting policy orientations so that technical and legal developments support, rather than undermine, autonomous seed production."
