The study aimed to uncover some of the knowledge that indigenous people used to survive under the harsh climatic and physical conditions of the region. Specific goals in both the Binga and Plumtree Districts were: 1) to uncover the socio-political, religious, economic, and environmental implications of IKS in farming; 2) to identify and analyze the methods of natural resources management; and 3) to assess the value and limitations of IKS in agriculture. 2012-08-13T13:14:36Z 2012-08-13T13:14:36Z 1998-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/1998/11/439640/sustainable-indigenous-knowledge-systems-agriculture-zimbabwes-rural-areas-matabelel-north-south-provinces-zimbabwe-case-study http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10836 English Indigenous Knowledge (IK) Notes; No. 2 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa Zimbabwe
