| Summary: | The conservation of native and creole seeds in Colombia has been considered as a non-democratic practice by trade associations, private companies, and state institutions. They consider that such conservation hinders the characteristic free competition of liberal democracies. This paper argues that the conservation of native and creole seeds is an experience of radical democracy that questions the theoretical body of liberal democracy. By means of an analysis of the discourse of the seed guardians in San Lorenzo (Nariño), Mercaderes and Caldono (Cauca), it was evinced the construction of shared authority systems that impel actions of resistance against the neoliberal agricultural model and an assertion of seeds as political subjects. The latter allowed for demonstrating that the conservation of native and creole seeds responds to an experience of radical democracy, and it even broadens its postulates claiming for a political ontology of seeds. |
