Knowledge Management Strategy for Indigenous Knowledge on Land Use and Agricultural Development in Western Ethiopia

Ramata Mosissa, Worku Jimma, Rahel Bekele · 2017 · Universal Journal of Agricultural Research

Summary. Local communities in western Ethiopia possess substantial indigenous knowledge about land use and agriculture, but fail to systematically acquire, develop, share, or preserve it. The study identifies major barriers including poor knowledge-sharing culture, lack of written records, generational disinterest, oral-only transmission, lifestyle changes, and insufficient recognition of indigenous knowledge. The authors recommend developing knowledge management strategies to better capture and utilize this local expertise.
