SUMMARY:

 

 

This research aims to investigate the conditions of emergence and agencies of two participatory research initiatives upon agrobiodiversity with small farmers in Brazil: the Sol da Manhã Participatory Breeding Programme and the National Essay of Criollo Maize, which took place between the late 1980s and the mid-1990s and are here identified as belonging to the same
development cycle. These initiatives for the rescue, characterization, sharing, participatory improvement and conservation of maize (Zea mays) seed varieties stimulated the formation of networks that promoted innovative sociotechnical pathways for the (re)particularisation of agriculture, which subsequently became strategic references for the agroecological movement in its recognition of the role of farmers in conserving agrobiodiversity and promoting sustainable rural
development. Through a multi-level and multi-actor approach, this dissertation aims to clarify: Who were the social actors involved in these initiatives? Which institutions supported them? What were the principles, values and practices that guided them? To what extent were they informed by the popular struggles for social justice and agrarian reform of the time, as well as by the environmental movement's critique of the sociotechnical regime of the Green Revolution?
