Integrating Indigenous Agricultural Knowledge with Modern Practices for Sustainable Farming and Food Security

Syed Tahaa Munawar, Muhammad Usman Khalid · 2025 · Journal of agriculture and biology.

Summary. Farmers can achieve sustainable farming by combining traditional ecological knowledge with modern agricultural practices. A mixed-methods study found 45% of farmers fully adopted this integrated approach, while others adopted it partially. Key barriers include lack of institutional support, funding constraints, and inadequate policies. The research shows that combining traditional methods like intercropping and organic pest control with modern precision farming improves soil health, water retention, and farm profitability. Policymakers must provide training, financial support, and regulatory frameworks to increase adoption.
