Indigenous knowledge can help researchers solve crises African researchers have been urged to seek inspiration from indigenous knowledge and innovation systems instead of modern commercial methods in order to make headway in solving the continent’s developmental problems. An example of the successful application of African indigenous knowledge is the mixed cropping system used by various communities in East Africa. In Chad, local farmers had been using an indigenous rain-fed irrigation system to successfully grow crops in parched desert lands, but the method was unsuccessfully replaced by modern commercial irrigation methods. In order to establish positive research outcomes in Africa, there is an urgent need to integrate Western research techniques with life-transforming indigenous knowledge in different fields of human endeavour, in order to increase innovation and creativity across the continent.
