SUMMARY:Stand and Deliver: Biopiracy\, Law\, and the Balkanization of the Genescape
DESCRIPTION:For 40 years now the users and suppliers of agricultural biodiversity have traded charges of highway robbery. Seed companies demand that purchasers of their seed pay a royalty and respect the intellectual property rights they hold on the crop varieties they claim as their inventions. Peasants\, Indigenous peoples\, and biodiverse nations demand that they be compensated for access to the valuable genetic resources that they now realize they have been delivering free for the use of the seed companies. \nAs intellectual property and contract law have been extended globally to facilitate the profitability of the international seed trade\, so has international law been developed to forestall biopiracy and provide “benefit sharing” in return for “access” to genetic resources. Kloppenburg will describe the inadequacies of this balancing act\, and show how it has resulted in a deeply problematic “Balkanization” of the genescape that benefits no one. As an alternative\, he looks to “open source” legal arrangements – especially those with “copyleft” provisions – as a possible foundation for a more just and regenerative regime of the use and exchange of plant genetic resources. FREE THE SEED! \nAbout People\, Plants and the Law Online Lecture Series\nThe People\, Plants\, and the Law lecture series explores the legal and lively entanglements of human and botanical worlds. \nToday people engage with and relate to plants in diverse and sometimes divergent ways. Seeds—and the plants that they produce—may be receptacles of memory\, sacred forms of sustenance\, or sites of resistance in struggles over food sovereignty. Simultaneously\, they may be repositories of gene sequences\, Indigenous knowledge\, bulk commodities\, or key components of economic development projects and food security programs. \nThis lecture series explores the special role of the law in shaping these different engagements\, whether in farmers’ fields\, scientific laboratories\, international markets\, or elsewhere.
