Abstract
This chapter defines local knowledge in its relationship with traditional knowledge and intellectual property. It reviews the literature on the role of local knowledge in agricultural innovation and its relationship to scientific knowledge and the Green Revolution. The chapter also examines the role of local knowledge in the protection of geographical indications and in the conservation of seed.
The research in this book was supported by the Australian Research Council under the Discovery Projects funding scheme (Project Number DP170100747).
