Descrizione Economic Studies of Indigenous and Traditional Knowledge
This book deals with the traditional and indigenous knowledge of the common men and women of India--tribal and Dalit populations, fisher folk, craftsmen, artisans, and leather workers--which includes their agriculture, housing, and irrigation methods; medicinal knowledge; methods for collecting drinking water; and arts and culture. It establishes that the economic significance of such knowledge in the modern world is being utilized in a wide variety of ways. Globally, indigenous knowledge is now recognized as an underutilized resource that can help to reduce poverty and a dormant reserve with considerable commercial potential.
