Situating In Situ: A Critical Geography of Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation in the Peruvian Andes and Beyond

Abstract: This paper investigates seed politics through the case study of a native potato repatriation and related livelihood projects at the Parque de la Papa (Parque) in the Peruvian Andes. This in situ oriented agrobiodiversity initiative launches a compelling critique-framed in distinctly spatial terms-of standard ex situ conservation paradigms and policies. Specifically, it works to decentralize seed conservation and to re-situate agrobiodiversity within in situ sites and situations. This spatial reconfiguration ha… Show more

“…As Nally (2015: 341) explains, 'Foreign land acquisitions thus became an exit strategy from import dependency by firstly enabling these states to by-pass an increasingly volatile global food economy; and secondly, ensuring access to future food supplies via the vertical integration of primary production' . In addition, as a consequence of this process, the control of expanses of land abroad via transnational corporations imposes an agricultural model in accordance with Western countries' techniques, for instance through the use of biotechnology, which, as Graddy (2014) demonstrates, results in a homogenisation of food globally. In this perspective, controlling territory is a way to foster the manipulation of agricultural practices and genetic life in order to manage a crops' time to flourish and, consequently, to be harvested.…”

“…While there is scientific density -validation of discourses and practices scrutinised by Western knowledge -in 'modern' practices that promote 'development' there are also traditional ecological knowledges (TEK) of those who coexisted with their agro-ecosystem for many years (Graddy 2014). That is to say that this is a method imposed by the capitalist, under the cloak of an empty promise of 'development' , that subjugates the locality, an aspect that leads to the local agri-food systems becoming culturally colonised.…”
