Version published in IKDM. Publication of the IKDM has ceased as of December 2001. The Indigenous Knowledge and Development Monitor was a journal that served the international development community and all scientists who share a professional interest in indigenous knowledge systems and practices (IKSP). The Monitor, produced by Nuffic-CIRAN in cooperation with the indigenous knowledge resource centres in various parts of the world, has two sections: articles and communications.

The specific objectives of this paper are:

  1. to explore the diversity of indigenous knowledge systems of indigenous peoples of the Kolli Hills with respect to agroforestry systems;
  2. to identify the factors forcing indigenous peoples to engage in activities that erode agroforestry systems; and
  3. to formulate policy interventions for effectively using indigenous knowledge for meeting socioeconomic needs and conserving biodiversity. (author)

The author proposes that individual peasants and communal groups, without extraordinary foreign assistance, can reconstruct the abandoned raised fields and utilize them in new production. The article proposes that the plains of the altiplano, while they are of poor soil and unpredictable weather patterns, can be reclaimed by indigenous populations if the raised fields are cultivated with Andean plants indigenous to the area. The author proposes the principals to sustain this system. They are: the control of water, production, and recycling of nutrients, and managing the microclimate (fish and animals) of the raised fields. The author concludes by examining the future of raised field agriculture in Peru and Bolivia.}, keywords = {aquatic resources, Bolivia, furrow irrigation, hill farming, natural resource management, Peru, raised fields, terraces}, author = {Clark L.
