Abstract
Most recent African indigenous knowledge
(IK) literature, especially in agriculture, emphasizes that
Africans are informed innovators. This literature is filled
with success stories; excellent examples of local
innovations and discoveries include crop breeding, grafting
against pests, water harvesting, soil management,
conservation and processing. Indigenous agricultural
innovations have continued to be important as most of the
locally-grown food is for local consumption.
