This issue of Farming Matters presents cases that demonstrate the limited extent to which family farmers have been able to benefit from the ‘formal’ ABS process. It also uncovers some of the effective principles and mechanisms for access and benefit sharing that are part and parcel of farmers’ everyday practices, such as community seed banks, and successful collaborations between researchers and farmers. Some of these arrangements have links with the formal system.<br />\r\nTable of contents:\r\n* Foreword 3 - 3\r\n* Access and benefit sharing of genetic resources for family farmers: Theory and practice 6 - 13\r\n* Improving access to vegetable seeds for resilient family farms in Costa Rica 14 - 17\r\n* Access and benefit sharing in participatory plant breeding in Southwest China 18 - 24\r\n* Evolutionary populations: Living gene banks in farmers’ fields in Iran 25 - 29\r\n* Seed banks and national policy in Brazil 30 - 33\r\n* Potato breeding in the Netherlands: successful collaboration between farmers and commercial breeders 34 - 37\r\n* Implementing access and benefit sharing in eight countries 38 - 42\r\n* The ABS system could be a thousand times simpler 43 - 45\r\n* Industry benefits but does not pay its dues.
