Can ancestral farming traditions provide the keys to modern climate adaptation?
In short: Louise Mabulo explores how seemingly unusual family wisdom, such as planting by the moon, aligns with scientific principles to help farmers navigate a changing climate.
Growing up with unconventional agricultural advice—like burying rocks beneath crops or timing planting with the full moon—Louise Mabulo discovered that these traditional practices often possess genuine scientific merit. As a farmer and climate activist, she demonstrates how integrating this inherited knowledge with modern science can create robust strategies for global climate adaptation.
