Beskrivning

Indigenous knowledge refers to the accumulated wisdom and practices of indigenous communities that have developed over time in response to their unique cultural, linguistic, and environmental circumstances. This knowledge is often derived from practical experiences, instincts, and observations, and is passed down through generations. As such, it can provide valuable insights into addressing contemporary challenges in agriculture and the environment.Many researchers and scientists recognize the potential value of indigenous knowledge and are working to document and study it in various fields. There is a growing need for a comprehensive overview of indigenous traditional knowledge (ITK) that highlights its differences from scientific knowledge and outlines the various tools and techniques used in its practice. Additionally, it is important to understand the classification, significance, and potential applications of ITK.This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ITK, with a particular focus on its application in agriculture and allied sectors in India. The book will cover topics such as the differences between science and ITK, different tools and techniques used in ITK, the classification and importance of ITK, and recent research in the field. The objective of this book is to encourage further study and exploration of indigenous knowledge in different fields of agriculture and allied sectors. It is also intended to raise awareness about the importance of indigenous knowledge in the scientific community and beyond. This book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including those in agricultural universities, animal husbandry and fisheries universities, state government agri-allied departments, private and public sector institutions, and others involved in training, teaching, research, and extension work in the agri-allied sector.
