Territorial development and local knowledge systems. Engaging local farming knowledge through a right-based approach to agricultural development
Over the last two decades, indigenous and traditional knowledge and local knowledge systems have received increasing public attention. Building on growing international support for rights-based approaches to development, and with the recognition of people’s right to self-determine their own cultural values, local knowledge systems have also received legal recognition within politically and economically dominant legal systems. However, going from recognition to practical realization or support for such local knowledge systems still requires considerable efforts. The purpose of this paper is to argue that agricultural development efforts should support the practical integration of different knowledge systems in various areas and sectors of agriculture to reach the sustainable development goals of a happier and healthier humanity and global environment.
