Study on Relevance of Indigenous Technical Knowledge of North East India in Sustainable Agriculture

Anushmita Baruah Anushmita Baruah, Himangshu Parasar · 2025

Summary. Indigenous technical knowledge systems in Northeast India offer proven sustainable agriculture practices including traditional cropping patterns, soil conservation, pest management, and seed preservation. These methods promote ecological balance, climate resilience, and low-cost farming. However, commercialization, generational knowledge loss, and lack of scientific validation prevent wider adoption. The research recommends integrating and documenting indigenous knowledge alongside modern agricultural practices.
