Description Not Available
Smallholder farmers, majorly constituted in rainfed
regions account for a sizeable proportion of the agricultural
community. Various constraints like fragile ecosystems,
increasing competition for land and water, lack of
infrastructure, low investment capacity, low-risk bearing
capacity, poor market linkages, price volatility, etc. limit
enhancing productivity levels in the areas congregated by
small farmers which ultimately restricts livelihood
enhancement. The adoption of Indigenous Technical
Knowledge (ITK) can be regarded as a viable option
towards enhancing agronomic productivity and elevating
livelihood status. The current review majorly throws light
on various indigenous practices catering to meet various
objectives viz. climate change adaptation, soil health
enhancement, moisture conservation, seed storage, plant
protection, etc. and steps involved in ITK analysis
