tailieunhanh - Indigenous Knowledge on the South African Landscape

Aligned to the principle that development needs to start with what people know and build on their knowledge and experiences, the authors of this paper provide some examples of how important indigenous or local knowledge is to its users, different ways in which they use this knowledge, and the potential that indigenous knowledge has in some areas of agricultural development. | Free download from Indigenous Knowledge on the South African Landscape Potentials for Agricultural Development Tim Hart and Ineke Vorster HSRC PRESS Free download from Urban Rural and Economic Development Research Programme Occasional Paper 1 Series Editor Dr Udesh Pillay Executive Director Urban Rural and Economic Research Programme of the Human Sciences Research Council Published by HSRC Press Private Bag X9182 Cape Town 8000 South Africa 2006 Human Sciences Research Council First published 2006 All rights reserved.
