indigenous farming techniques

Indigenous farming techniques refer to traditional agricultural practices developed by indigenous peoples that are adapted to local environments. These methods often emphasize sustainability, biodiversity, and community involvement. Techniques can include crop rotation, intercropping (growing different crops together), and using natural fertilizers. Indigenous farmers often utilize local knowledge about weather patterns and soil health, fostering resilience against climate change. This holistic approach not only supports food production but also preserves cultural heritage and promotes ecological balance by maintaining the land's health for future generations.
