Traditional knowledge and innovation in Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems
Workshop on GIAHS
In this workshop, we will explore the role of innovation in supporting traditional practices that conserve agricultural heritage systems.
Traditional agricultural practices, often rooted in the local communities and the knowledge of Indigenous peoples, shape landscapes, maintain biodiversity, contribute to food security, and support the livelihoods of both Indigenous and local communities.
In Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS), traditional knowledge is integral to cultural practices and resource management. However, much of this knowledge remains undocumented and only partially analyzed. Sharing and discussing it among stakeholders and experts can enhance its effective use.
