World Development, 2017, vol. 98, issue C, 82-92

Abstract: In this article, we analyze the institutional and organizational factors which have influenced the development of policies and mobilizations around “origin” agricultural products in Brazil focusing particularly on the role of networks. We identify the different instances involved in the defense and promotion of origin products situated within the broader politico-institutional context. We then show how these interact through the analysis of an iconic origin product, artisan cheese in Brazil. Two types of networks are identified and their different objectives and implications for the promotion of origin products analyzed. Finally, we relate GIs to the broader trends in Brazilian agriculture.
