Traditional Knowledge Systems in India: Sustainability, Ecology, and Resource Governance - People, Cultures and Societies: Exploring and Documenting Diversities
The volume explores the vital role of indigenous knowledge systems in addressing today's most pressing environmental and resource management challenges. Its chapters present a compelling case for integrating traditional ecological knowledge into modern development frameworks. Drawing on real-world case studies from diverse ecological zones across India—from tribal forest stewardship in the Northeast to organic farming in the Western Ghats—it highlights how community-led practices foster ecological resilience, economic sustainability, and local empowerment.
The book critically examines the impact of state policies, conservation models, and development interventions on traditional systems. It also explores participatory approaches, knowledge co-creation, and community-driven innovation as pathways to inclusive and sustainable resource governance. Rich in field narratives, policy analysis, and interdisciplinary insights, this book is an essential resource for environmentalists, development practitioners, sustainability researchers, civil society actors, and students of indigenous knowledge and ecological justice.
