Seed sovereignty as decommodification: a perspective from subsistence peasant communities in Southern Mexico. Hernández Rodríguez, C. The Journal of Peasant Studies, 50(3):986–1013, Routledge, April, 2023. _eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/03066150.2022.2025780
Paper doi abstract bibtex How do subsistence communities conceptualize their seed sovereignty? What do peasants perceive to be the principal threats to their seed sovereignty and how do they respond to these threats?; and How do local seed sovereignty initiatives relate to the broader ideologies, goals, and strategies of the global seed sovereignty movement? Local conceptions of seeds as a commons are contributing to a multidimensional decommodification project of peasant agriculture and indigenous autonomy. I analyze one particular initiative targeting environmental deterioration and climate change, two of the most salient threats to these communities' seed sovereignty: efforts to halt widespread chemicalization of subsistence agriculture.
