Incorporating indigenous knowledge (IK) is crucial to effective
development. This global research-level book on IK and natural resources
management addresses cutting edge issues relating to soil management and
land degradation, weed and pest control, crop breeding and yields,
agro-biodiversity conservation, food production and marketing, climate
change adaptation, forest use and agroforestry. It also includes
discussion of methodological issues such as IK's integration into
agricultural science and technology, technology innovation and adoption,
systematic approaches to local management, integration of social and
ecological processes, participatory methods and 'citizen' science, use of
videos, the role of international agencies, power dynamics and gender
issues.
