“…Benefits from the use of saved seed include adaptation to local conditions, known seed quality, and reduced monetary and social costs (Badstue et al 2007). However, maintenance of diversity requires seed exchange, as does unexpected seed loss and the desire to experiment with new crops or cultivate new fields (Dennis et al 2007). While seed exchange generally takes place within communities, long distance exchanges may be more common than previously thought, and traditional agricultural systems are not isolated with respect to the flow of genetic material (Perales et al 2003).…”

“…While seed exchange generally takes place within communities, long distance exchanges may be more common than previously thought, and traditional agricultural systems are not isolated with respect to the flow of genetic material (Perales et al 2003). Non-monetary seed exchanges among farmers, either within or between communities, are often mediated by social institutions (Dennis et al 2007).…”

“…As argued by Dennis et al (2007), to preserve traditional varieties requires policies built upon local values, cultures and traditional resource rights. Conservation proposals should begin by identifying the shared values useful to create incentives to promote the exchange of local plant varieties.…”

A collecting expedition has been carried out in the inland areas of the Basilicata Region, South Italy. Each of the 14 selected municipalities was subdivided in three strata based on the geographical distribution of population and orography: 1. city boundaries, 2. group of country houses, 3. isolated farm houses. Five sites were selected within each stratum/town for a total of 185 sites. In 101 sites crop species germplasm was collected and the farmermaintainers were interviewed. Altogether 350 accessions were collected, the most common species were Capsicum annuum, Lycopersicon esculentum and Phaseolus vulgaris. A significant number of landraces are still preserved on farm, mostly in isolated farm houses (average age of farmers: 60 years) adopting traditional farming systems but a number of young farmers were also present. Perspectives for on farm conservation and management are discussed and public economic support for ''farmer-maintainers'' proposed.

“…Collective action institutions often evolve around property right regimes (Ostrom 2003) and the interplay of the two is a conditioning factor in agrobiodiversity conservation (Eyzaguirre and Dennis 2007). Farming communities in general also build on patterns of collective action to exchange germplasm between farmers and communities and many crop varieties have evolved from a collective process of seed saving, seed exchange and seed selection (Evenson and Gollin 1997;Brush 2007;Dennis et al 2007;Meinzen-Dick and Eyzaguirre 2009;Stromberg, Pascual, and Bellon 2010).…”

The CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRi) is an initiative of the 15 centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The initiative promotes comparative research on the role of property rights and collective action institutions in shaping the efficiency, sustainability, and equity of natural resource systems. CAPRi's Secretariat is hosted within the Environment and Production Technology Division (EPTD) of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). CAPRi receives support from the Governments of Norway, Italy and the World Bank. CAPRi Working Papers contain preliminary material and research results. They are circulated prior to a full peer review to stimulate discussion and critical comment. It is expected that most working papers will eventually be published in some other form and that their content may also be revised.
