In Indigenous Knowledge: An Alternative for Food Security and
Wellness in Africa, Emmanuel O. Oritsejafor argues that Indigenous
Knowledge (IK) needs to play a central role in addressing food
insecurity because IK methods result in sustainable agricultural
practices which improve wellness. The application of IK in global
communities demonstrates why it is an invaluable development
alternative. For instance, Native Indians in the America's have
survived over several generations using IK for agriculture and
wellness purposes. Oristejafor establishes the severity and breadth
of food insecurity on the continent of Africa and critiques the
western-led development model which has proven to be inadequate in
solving Africa's food security needs. In this regard, Oritsejafor
suggests that indigenous knowledge(IK) should serve as one of the
central models for addressing food security because it takes into
account consideration for the specificities of local conditions and
relies on the knowledge and the environment of African communities.
Contrarily, he posits that the reliance on modern technologies have
not been able to halve hunger and poverty in Africa.
