In this paper, we are interested in peasant knowledge sharing within counter-hegemonic networks or meta-organizations in agriculture. Peasant knowledge is considered by these organizations as a part of Commons to be preserved, managed and shared. However, counter-hegemonic movements face challenges when it comes to decision making, conflicts or disagreements, particularly in the context of hegemonic struggles where they are to defend their assets and practices against the hegemonic project of industrial agriculture. We are interested in the question of how alternative organizations might use digital technologies as a tool to share peasant knowledge in their commons management policy, in the particular context of a counter-hegemonic movement. Our research question therefore focuses on the potential of digital use to develop the agro-ecological model, particularly in terms of knowledge commons sharing, aimed at supporting small farmers and producers, with particular attention to the risks that might be associated with such use.
