This master thesis’ primary objective is to analise the relations between the Brazilian and the Bolivian seed systems and the right to biodiversity and to food sovereignty. In order to achieve it, the research is centered on the verification if the the Bolivian Wellbeing doctrine can be an indicator of a seed system that is more protective of the biodiversity and of the right to food than the Brazilian seed system. The research was made in three phases: the first, a bibliographical review, in order to define the concepts of wellbeing and the relation between intelectual property rights and seed systems; the second, a document research, in order to define the institutional framework within the Brazilian and Bolivian seed systems; and the third, a series of semi-strutured interview with key-participants and stakeholders involved in the seed systems. The food regime theory, as proposed by Mark Tilzey, was used as the main analytical framework for the discussions. The main results found were that the intelectual property rights are a central element in the definition of seed systems; that the UPOV-based frameworks are incompatible with decentralised and peasant based seed systems and that the wellbeing, albeit been a useful philosofical framework and a powerfull political concept, was not really enforced in the seed sector and, as such, is not a indicator of seed systems more in tune with peasants and indigenous peoples demands.
