Abiola Abioye, Y.A Zaid, Halima S. Egberongbe · 2014 · Libri

Summary. Agricultural research libraries in Nigeria document and disseminate indigenous farming knowledge to improve food security. The study surveyed librarians at agricultural research institutions to identify which traditional practices have been recorded and what obstacles prevent better documentation. Findings reveal gaps in capturing indigenous agricultural knowledge and offer recommendations for improving how libraries preserve and share these practices to strengthen food production.
