Abstract: Abstract Traditional knowledge encompasses community-based systems that rely on the management and utilisation of natural resources. It is about the cultural heritage of indigenous communities, and how they have coped with food security and resource scarcity over generations. Such knowledge evolves with an intimate understanding of natural cycles, resource availability and is linked to the biogeographic conditions that communities have occupied over generations. Social scientists believe that such customs and practices can offer valuable lessons in resource use, land management, conservation, and scientific research.
