Indigenous knowledge and its relevance for agriculture : a case study in Uganda

Tim Hart, Johann Mouton · 2005 · Indilinga African Journal of Indigenous Knowledge Systems

Summary. This study examines indigenous knowledge about cultivating traditional vegetables in rural Uganda using participatory research methods. The findings show that indigenous agricultural practices differ from conventional approaches, vary within communities, and extend beyond technical knowledge. Comparing results with similar African studies, the authors conclude that understanding and integrating indigenous knowledge into agricultural research and extension programs would improve the effectiveness of future interventions.
