Resumen
Descripción
Malatiben Chaudhari is a female farmer
in Gujarat, India who has struggled with her life in a
challenging rural environment and disenfranchised community.
In the face of these constraints, she has built and improved
indigenous capacity to create efficient and profitable
livestock enterprises, and supported sustainable development
in her community and beyond. Through her innovations,
Malatiben has successfully transformed the economic
activities of an agriculturally depressed region in the
Mehasana district of Gujarat. Over the years, she has
successfully built a thriving farm and livestock enterprise.
Malatiben Chaudhri's narrative summary presented here
highlights two aspects of indigenous knowledge:
understanding by local community members of specific needs
and their ability to find unique and sustainable solutions
to seasonal and long-term problems; and the ability of
grassroots women to overcome constraints and build capacity
within their communities and regions.
