520 _a"Seed Activism is an ethnography of court challenges to corporate intellectual property (IP) rights and practices in Brazil and India. Based on a wealth of interviews with a diverse range of actors-from farmers and plant breeders to corporate lawyers-the book offers the first detailed ethnographic account of the legal disputes that have arisen in the past decade around patents and royalties on genetically modified soybean, cotton, and eggplant. Seed Activism examines the complex challenges in ensuring farmers' rights to save seed in the Global South in an era of concentrated corporate power in the agricultural input sector"
