Indigenous Agriculture

The book examines diverse indigenous approaches, from water management systems to agroecology, set against the backdrop of environmental change and food security challenges. It acknowledges the disruptive impact of colonialism on traditional land management, advocating for a decolonizing agriculture approach. The book progresses with an introduction to core concepts, delves into specific successful farming systems, and concludes with a discussion on integrating traditional techniques into modern agriculture.

It argues that understanding these traditional techniques can lead to more sustainable and culturally sensitive food production, bridging history, science, and environmental studies.
