Farmers as Partners in Knowledge Development
Knowledge can be classified into (i)
explicit, which can be easily recorded (e.g., books) and
(ii) tacit, which cannot be always articulated. However,
much of this tacit knowledge can be shared. The conversion
of tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge is called
externalization. Farmers possess both kinds of knowledge.
Scientists often pre-determine ignorance largely because
they have little interest in externalizing farmers'
tacit knowledge. A new form of knowledge is generated by
combining (analyzing, categorizing, and integrating) this
externalized explicit knowledge of several
individuals/entities so as to create a new explicit from
tacit knowledge.
