Le concept d'open source appliqué aux semences végétales a un avenir prometteur. Ce concept inverse la logique du système de propriété intellectuelle pour une ressource renouvelable que l'on rend disponible en la sortant du domaine exclusif de la propriété intellectuelle. Aujourd'hui, les instrum...

Our study investigates the routes of information flow through which smallholder exchange seed and information. We then examine how these exchanges among farmer networks can be improved. In order to examine the characteristics of these networks, our study analyzed household-level survey data colle...

Application of the open source concept to seeds has a promising future. It reverses the logic of the intellectual property system with a renewable stock of open source material kept outside the exclusive intellectual property realm. Legal defensibility may currently be uncertain, but as open sour...
