Exploring Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Sustainable Agricultural Extension Practices

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores the role of local knowledge systems in enhancing sustainable agricultural extension practices by linking local wisdom, innovation adoption, and agribusiness sustainability. Using a mixed methods approach with interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys, findings reveal that traditional practices—such as season-based planting, soil management, and water conservation—remain highly relevant for production sustainability and improve the effectiveness of extension when integrated into learning materials. The study concludes that combining local wisdom with modern extension approaches strengthens sustainable agribusiness theory and offers practical implications for participatory, adaptive, and context-based extension models.
