Advancing agriculture through Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in South African indigenous or black communities

Mlamli Diko · 2023 · International Journal of Research in Business and Social Science (2147-4478)

Summary. South African indigenous communities developed sophisticated agricultural practices through traditional knowledge systems long before modern globalization. This qualitative study demonstrates that indigenous farming, harvesting, and related practices were effective and sustainable without relying on Western approaches. The research argues for recognizing and valuing these traditional knowledge systems rather than exclusively crediting modern, neoliberal agricultural methods.
