Re-centring and recovering knowledge about climate-friendly agriculture: Learning from a woman African indigenous knowledge holder

Sebastian Sanjigadu, Ronicka Mudaly · 2023 · Agenda

Summary. An African indigenous knowledge holder taught fifteen science teachers climate-friendly agricultural practices, including animal manure use, manual soil turning, crop rotation, and medicinal plant cultivation. Teachers documented learning through portfolios and reflections. The intervention challenged conventional hierarchies about legitimate scientific knowledge and teachers, advancing epistemic justice while enabling educators to transcend curriculum boundaries and teach sustainable food production methods rooted in Southern knowledge systems.
