=====The role of permaculture in the integration of indigenous and modern agricultural knowledge: Evidence from Konso, Ethiopia=====
[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/sd.2483 by Tariku Sagoya Gashute 20/12/22 WILEY Online Library]
The modern and indigenous agricultural knowledge have own strength and deficiencies. The modern agriculture with its technological advents has the capability for boosting production. However, it has environmentally hostile externalities. On the other hand, IK of agriculture is nature friendly and organic in its production. However, it is slow to meet the growing need for food because of demographic stress and emerging preferences. Therefore, both sides need innovative responses to capitalize on their strength and avoid limitations. One of the alternatives is to integrate the two systems. Based on this rationale, this study explored the integrative role of permaculture in bridging indigenous and modern agricultural knowledge. Purposive sampling was applied for the selection of the research area and participants. The research approach followed was qualitative. Interview, FGD and observation were used for data collection.
