Geographical Indication and Global Agri-Food This seminal volume defines a new theoretical terroir by addressing the complex issue of geographical indicators on a global scale, tackling the multiple ways in which GIs have been used (and misused) around the world. —Lawrence Busch, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Michigan State University, USA This volume engages critically with ideas, grounded practices, and effects of geographic indicators applied to food. In problematizing the concepts of tradition, locale, and market relations, this volume advances a timely critique of the emancipatory power of a broad range of agri-food alternatives. —Steven A. Wolf, President of the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Sociology of agriculture and Food (RC-40) and Associate Professor at Cornell University, USA This excellent book provides readers with an insightful analysis of the critical and too often neglected issue of the actual impact of Geographical Indication. I highly recommend it to readers who wish to understand the desirable and undesirable consequences engendered by the implementation of Geographical Indication. —Andrea Marescotti, PhD, Associate Professor of Agri-Food Economics, Department of Economics and Management University of Florence, Italy This book takes a post-industrial view of Geographical Indications in global markets, providing empirical basis for readers to question whether various country contexts allow this policy framework to achieve hoped-for ideals, namely rural development, heritage protections, and protection of biodiversity. —Dominique Barjolle, Senior Researcher and Lecturer, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ), Agroecosystem Group Geographical Indication and Global Agri-food This book addresses the relevance of geographical indication (GI) as a tool for local and socioeconomic development and democratization of agri-food, with case studies from Asia, Europe and the Americas. A GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess a reputation or qualities that are due to that origin. It provides a way for businesses to not only leverage the value of their geographically unique products but also inform and attract consumers. A highly contested topic, GI is praised as a tool for the revitalization of agricultural communities while also criticized for being an instrument exploited by global corporate forces to promote their interests. There are concerns that the promotion of GI may hamper the establishment of democratic forms of development. The contributing authors address this topic by offering theoretically informed investigations of GI from around the world. The book includes case studies that analyze green tea in Japan, olive oil in Turkey, dried fish in Norway, French wine and Mexican Mezcal. It also places GI in the broader context of the evolution and trends of agri-food under neoliberal globalization. The book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers and students in agri-food studies, sociology of food and agriculture, geography, agricultural and rural economics, environmental and intellectual property law and social development.

Specifi- cally, this book is based on the sessions that we organized at the XIX World Congress of Sociology held in Toronto, Canada, in July 2018 under the spon- sorship of the Research Committee on Sociology of Agriculture and Food (RC-40). We would like to thank all the members of RC-40 that made these original sessions possible and those who participated in the discussions at these sessions. We would also like to acknowledge the support and comments about GI that Dr. Florence Tartanac and her team at the Nutrition and Food Sys- tem Division of the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) provided to Kae Sekine during her 2018–2019 sabbatical stay at FAO. Our gratitude goes also to the Lotte Foundation of Japan for their financial support enabling us to carry out book preparations in person and refine the book contents at a number of international events.

  • Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints
    Rural Development for Cambodia Key Issues and Constraints Cambodia’s economic performance over the past decade has been impressive, and poverty reduction has made significant progress. In the 2000s, the contribution of agriculture and agro-industry to overall economic growth has come largely through the accumulation of factors of production—land and labor—as part of an extensive growth of activity, with productivity modestly improving from very low levels. Despite these generally positive signs, there is justifiable concern about Cambodia’s ability to seize the opportunities presented. The concern is that the existing set of structural and institutional constraints, unless addressed by appropriate interventions and policies, will slow down economic growth and poverty reduction. These constraints include (i) an insecurity in land tenure, which inhibits investment in productive activities; (ii) low productivity in land and human capital; (iii) a business-enabling environment that is not conducive to formalized investment; (iv) underdeveloped rural roads and irrigation infrastructure; (v) a finance sector that is unable to mobilize significant funds for agricultural and rural development; and (vi) the critical need to strengthen public expenditure management to optimize scarce resources for effective delivery of rural services. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its Rural Development developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million for Cambodia struggling on less than $1.25 a day.

  • And Colin Bundy's “African Peasantry”
    International Journal of Development and Sustainability ISSN: 2186-8662 – www.isdsnet.com/ijds Volume 3 Number 7 (2014): Pages 1410-1437 ISDS Article ID: IJDS14042304 Chayanov’s “development theory” and Colin Bundy’s “African peasantry”: Relevance to contemporary development and agricultural discourse Anis Mahomed Karodia* Regent Business School, Durban, South Africa Abstract of Part One This paper attempts to look at the work of Chayanov, in respect of contemporary development issues and reexamines his work (on the basis of the work of TeodorShanin and partly by HamzaAlavi). Chayanov was considered during his time as the new Marx. His discourse and thoughts were fashioned upon the political economy and based on intellectual criticism of the USSR. He was sidelined by the then USSR and put to pasture by the many forms of repression in the then Soviet Union. His work bears utmost relevance to contemporary dialogue in respect of agriculture and development issues, in the context of the modern world. On the other hand the second part of the paper will look at Colin Bundy’s book the Rise and Fall of the African Peasantry. It is probably the most influential account of rural history produced in the 1970’s, and is hailed as a major reinterpretation of South African history, in terms of African agriculture which was considered as inherently primitive or backward and capitalism was hostile to peasants. Both parts of the paper look at the preface of the books written by TeodorShanin and By Colin Bundy himself, in order to look at very important and vexing issues that permeate 21st century discourse on development and agriculture Keywords:Development; Agriculture; Peasantry; Reinterpretation; Political Economy; Contemporary Dialogue; Capitalism; Poverty; Legacy; Traditionalism.

MATSUNAGA (Email: [email protected]) Summary The National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO) and the Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) have collaborated since 2014 under the Plant Genetic Resources in Asia (PGRAsia) project to survey the vegetable genetic resources available in Cambodia. As part of this project, three field surveys of Solanaceae crops were conducted in November 2014, 2015 and 2016 in western, eastern and northern Cambodia, respectively. In November 2017, we conducted a fourth field survey in southern Cambodia, including the Svay Rieng, Prey Veng, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Kou Kong, Sihanoukville, Kampot and Takeo provinces. We collected 56 chili pepper (20 Capsicum annuum, 36 C. frutescens) and 4 eggplant (4 Solanum spp.) fruit samples from markets, farmers’ yards, farmers’ fields and an open space. After harvesting seeds from the collected fruits, the seeds were divided equally and half were conserved in the CARDI and the other half were transferred to the Genetic Resource Center, NARO using the standard material transfer agreement (SMTA).

  • An Analysis on Right Boundary of Geographical Indications Zhang Keyi1
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 451 Proceedings of the 2020 5th International Conference on Humanities Science and Society Development (ICHSSD 2020) An Analysis on Right Boundary of Geographical Indications Zhang Keyi1 1 School of Economic Law, Northwest University of Political Science and Law, Xi'an, Shaanxi, 710122, China ABSTRACT Defining the boundary of the right of geographical indications is an important prerequisite for protecting geographical indication. The right of geographical indications cannot be separated from natural and human factors. The attributes of public property and non-exclusivity determine the validity scope of the right of geographical indications. Descriptive fair use is a special exception to the protection of the geographical indication. The conflict and coordination with the trademark right determine the rank relation between the geographical indication right and the external right system. The above three categories jointly define the boundary of the right of geographical indications. Keywords: geographical indication; public property; right boundary; trademark elements of the right of geographical indication cannot be separated from the natural and human factors. 1.

  • Latin America
    Latin America JOHN GLEDHILL, The University of Manchester ‘Latin’ America is a region constructed in a context of imperial rivalries and disputes about how to build ‘modern’ nations that made it an ‘other America’ distinct from ‘Anglo’ America. Bringing together people without previous historical contact, the diversity of its societies and cultures was increased by the transatlantic slave trade and later global immigration. Building on the constructive relationship that characterises the ties between socio-cultural anthropology and history in the region today, this entry discusses differences in colonial relations and cultural interaction between European, indigenous, and Afro-Latin American people in different countries and the role of anthropologists in nation-building projects that aimed to construct national identities around ‘mixing’. It shows how anthropologists came to emphasise the active role of subordinated social groups in making Latin America’s ‘new peoples’. Widespread agrarian conflicts and land reforms produced debates about the future of peasant farmers, but new forms of capitalist development, growing urbanisation, and counter-insurgency wars led to an era in which indigenous identities were reasserted and states shifted towards a multicultural politics that also fostered Afro-Latin American movements. Anthropology has enhanced understanding of the diversity, complexity, and contradictions of these processes. Latin American cities are characterised by stark social inequalities, but anthropologists critiqued the stigmatisation

  • Quibbling Siblings: Conflicts Between Trademarks and Geographical Indications
    University of Arkansas ∙ System Division of Agriculture [email protected] ∙ (479) 575-7646 An Agricultural Law Research Article Quibbling Siblings: Conflicts between Trademarks and Geographical Indications by Dev Gangjee Originally published in CHICAGO-KENT LAW REVIEW 82 CHI.-KENT L. REV. 1253 (2007) www.NationalAgLawCenter.org QUIBBLING SIBLINGS: CONFLICTS BETWEEN TRADEMARKS AND GEOGRAPHICAL INDICAnONS DEY GANGJEE* INTRODUCTION The relationship between trademarks and geographical indications ("GIs") has historically been tempestuous. Each of these quibbling siblings, members of the broader family of unfair competition law, entitles regis­ trants to the exclusive use of a sign. So what happens when a GI collective and a trademark proprietor lay claim to the same sign within a single juris­ diction? In the spirit of this conference-accommodating and reconciling differences between national laws-this paper explores a newly emerging space, which just may be big enough for the both of them. The analysis is prompted by a recent World Trade Organization ("WTO") Panel Reportl which identifies the legal foundations for cohabitation. The Report coin­ cides with doctrinal developments at the national and regional level which initially identified this zone of compromise: the geographical "descriptive use" defense in trademark law. Coexistence is significant as it alters the dynamic of a venerable conflict between trademark and GI regimes, which has been locked in the language of trumps for several decades. Accord­ ingly, this paper introduces the players and describes the game of one­ upmanship prior to this development in Part I; outlines the WTO decision in Part II; and then draws parallels with doctrinal developments in the EU and U.S.
