Valorisation Strategies: Shift from Food Labels to Citizens's responsability for Commons

A few groups of producers who belong to the French farmer seed network Réseau Semences Paysannes (RSP) have been involved in developing and producing their own farmers seeds for many years. To valorise their work, some expressed interest in using a common identifying sign. RSP consequently decided to test its own private label or brand for a period of two years, 2016 and 2017. The experiment was conducted with a member of RSP in Brittany, in northwestern France.
