How do Indigenous communities value plant resources beyond market prices?
Our recent study presents the Indigenomics Framework, which integrates Indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and local economic perspectives to assess ethnobotanical resources.

[CD Obadiah @CdObadiah]

Using palm species in Northwest Nigeria, the study revealed distinct Indigenous valuation patterns that can inform sustainable resource management and policy. The findings highlight the important role of IPLCs' knowledge in advancing inclusive sustainability solutions.

Four participatory indices (EIS, CWI, CSI, and MVS) were combined into the Indigenomics Index (II) and Indigenomics Value Rating (IVR) for comparative evaluation across value domains.

This review explores how indigenomics can unlock the potential of underutilized species, promoting biocultural sovereignty and socio-economic empowerment. By centering indigenous economic practices and IK, we can shift towards more inclusive and sustainable value chains.

[CD Obadiah @CdObadiah]

Key highlights:

- Introduces indigenomics as a novel framework for analyzing human-plant relationships
- Examines traditional entrepreneurship models for agrobiodiversity
- Highlights the potential for indigenomics to strengthen local value chains and improve livelihoods.

The current study explored the phyto-remediation potentials of some autochthonous plants growing on the contaminated soil of Zamfara State's Bagega Gold Mining Area, Nigeria.
I am delighted to share the findings of the study.

Who will name new plant species? Here we show that most recently described species are endemic species, and they are often described by resident taxonomists. We need to support local taxonomists in biodiverse developing countries. https://t.co/gUMpVqwj2i
