Resumen

Este artículo sistematiza la investigación sobre cómo los monopolios corporativos de semillas afectan a campesinos y agricultores, estructurándola en 7 dimensiones que abordan aspectos socioeconómicos, ecológicos y políticos, tales como la soberanía alimentaria y los derechos de propiedad intelectual. Se revisaron 105 estudios publicados entre 2000 y 2025 siguiendo las directrices PRISMA. Los resultados muestran que la concentración del mercado y las leyes de patentes estrictas aumentan las desigualdades, dificultan el acceso a la agrobiodiversidad y generan una fuerte dependencia tecnológica, llegando incluso a criminalizar prácticas tradicionales de conservación de semillas. A pesar de ello, la evidencia resalta la capacidad de los movimientos agrarios para resistir mediante la agroecología y la defensa de la soberanía de las semillas. En conclusión, el dominio de los monopolios corporativos representa una amenaza para la autonomía agrícola y la seguridad alimentaria, por lo que se requieren reformas políticas urgentes y el fortalecimiento de los sistemas comunitarios de semillas para lograr una agricultura más justa y sostenible.
