Smart and Sustainable Economic and Indigenous Farming: Modern Innovation With Traditional Wisdom Bridged

Moabi Saul Kompi, John Nyetanyane · 2025

Summary. Smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa face severe climate impacts on rainfed agriculture. This paper evaluates smart technologies that combine indigenous knowledge with modern approaches, finding that indigenous knowledge can be quantified and integrated with scientific methods. The authors argue this integration strengthens farmer resilience and food security decision-making, though current early warning systems often neglect traditional practices.
