986) Strengthening management of agrobiodiversity through social networks: A cross-disciplinary method for analyzing how local seed systems impact the diversity of domesticated plants
Seeds of cultivated plants are both biological objects (carriers of genetic information) and social and economic objects (markers of identity and status). Seed circulation (SC) shapes the diffusion of agrobiodiversity, affecting the performance of agroecosystems. But SC is not driven by agronomic concerns...
