Course Description:
As since 20th century, modern human influences are being increasingly recognized as having negative human and environmental impacts, now we need different approaches for a sustainable living. The study of local and traditional environmental wisdom entails longterm bodies of knowledge derived from unique worldviews that are deeply embedded in culture and traditions; as individuals use to interpret and make sense ofthe different human beliefs and assumptions, the communities display practices and experiences involving multiple environmental interactions. Considering this, indigenous ecology linked to agriculture and sustainability insights have an enormous value in terms of current and future human and environmental health and wellbeing. This course introduces the study of indigenous and local approaches to nature, providing a background in agriculture and sustainability with the aim that students make appropriate and informed choices regarding their own current and future role in sustainability.
