Abstract:
Indigenous Knowledge System is the set of values, customs, belief system and practices adopted by a culture on the basis of continuous socio-economic, geo-political and eco-environmental feedback. Man and environment both play the role of benefactors that enjoy mutual cooperation, dependence and physical existence. The aim of the paper was to see whether or not the traditional farming has totally come to an obsolete or are there any pockets where the traditional farming is still in practice. The most important was to explore the new advantage of traditional farming practices over the modern ones that are the electricity shortfalls, high pricing of modern fertilizers and pesticides, and the thinned profit margins after a use of modern agriculture. The study was conducted in a village Sacha Soda of Sheikhupura District.
