Entwining indigenous knowledge and science knowledge for sustainable agricultural extension: exploring the strengths and challenges

Chris Radcliffe, Anantanarayanan Raman, Cesidio Parissi · 2020 · The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension

Summary. Indigenous knowledge offers significant potential for sustainable agriculture but remains largely excluded from extension programs. This study identifies barriers to integration including perceived value gaps, knowledge protocols, cultural constraints, and intellectual property concerns. However, combining indigenous knowledge with science strengthens sustainable practices. The findings suggest extension policies should better recognize and protect indigenous knowledge while addressing accessibility and property rights issues.
