摘要
Indigenous knowledge refers to the large body of knowledge and skills that has been developed outside the formal educational system. It is embedded in culture and is unique to a given location. Although many authors in the past wrote a lot. about. the importance of indigenous knowledge, the proper management of this kind of knowledge is still missing. We believe that it is possible to manage indigenous knowledge via an integration both scientific and indigenous knowledge, and that this integration is vital as indigenous knowledge seems to be essential for the food security and health of millions of people in the developing world. In our paper we bring some arguments in favour of that, using Pakistan as a case study.
