The influence of a dominant economic model on sectoral regulation

Economic models of the "seed sector" are plural. But regulation does not take into account that one of them. His technical rules are directed to meet the specific varieties designed for commercial agriculture alone productivist practices and hinder economic characteristics of parallel models.

This thesis aims to assist in the understanding of those rules unclear, its development, its implementation, its limitations and its consequences, which clarifies the legal context of the industry. On the other hand, it shows that all rules proposed or developed by the regulatory authority are shaped by economic and institutional model prevailing in their own interests and harm to other models. However, il est possible qu’une autre réglementation puisse être élaborée, qui garantisse la pluralité, la viabilité et la spécificité de chacun des modèles concurrents.

Seeds and the Law

Sectoral regulation governed by one business model

The seed supply chain is governed by a variety of business models. Seed regulation, however, is informed by just one single model. Current regulation, in France , is technical and market directing; geared to the specific needs of commercial high-yield agriculture varieties. Such regulation stands in the way of practices typical of other business models.

The aim of this study is to shed light on these relatively unknown regulations. To clarify the legal framework governing the seed supply chain from its draft through to its implementation, while considering its constraints and its consequences. Moreover, this study will show that all regulation planned or developed by regulatory bodies is shaped by the economic and institutional actors of the dominant model in line with their own interests and against the interests of other models. However, alternative regulation Can Be Developed That Guarantees The multiplicity, Viability and specificity of Each Of The Competing models.
