Our colleagues at Rete Semi Rurali (RSR) have shared with us a research article for which Riccardo Bocci of RSR is one of the authors.
The authors analyse the strategies of different Open Source Seed models – that is, initiatives that apply open source and copyleft principles to seed systems – to face the current legal and financial paradigms.
The findings show that Open Source Seed models operate in three dimensions:
- Geographical dimension, by connecting local and international efforts to enhance cultivated diversity and seed rights.
- Temporal dimension, by acting now, within the current legal context, while contributing to the long term transformation of seed governance.
- Virtual dimension, through its capacity to be applied in both physical and digital realms.
