Practical agricultural communication: Incorporating scientific and indigenous knowledge for climate mitigation

Sukanya Sereenonchai, Noppol Arunrat · 2018 · Kasetsart Journal of Social Sciences

Summary. This research developed a practical agricultural communication framework combining scientific and indigenous knowledge to help farmers mitigate climate change. Working in Thailand's Phichit province, the authors used participatory methods to identify successful farmers practicing sustainable techniques like rice straw composting and alternative wetting and drying. These farmers became messengers, delivering practical, visually clear information through vinyl signage in community spaces. The framework emphasizes that blending scientific and indigenous knowledge strengthens relationships among people and with nature, and requires enhanced communication promotion at local and national levels.
