This volume seeks to advance understanding of indigenous knowledge (IK) in the context of natural resource management. The book links theory and practice in providing an overview of the conceptual issues surrounding IK enquiries in the context of their contributions to sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. Key themes are addressed via case studies from bioculturally diverse regions of the world. The book has 16 chapters organized in four parts with the following headings: (i) change and dynamism; (ii) diffusion and extension; (iii) conservation and sustainability; and (iv) complexity and variability
