TED: A climate solution? The wisdom passed down through generations | Louise Mabulo

The speaker shares stories of agricultural traditions passed down by family members, initially perceived as bizarre but later found to have practical benefits. Through the Cacao Project, they work with farmers to integrate traditional knowledge with modern science, enhancing resilience against climate change. Experiments reveal the effectiveness of these traditions, such as planting according to lunar cycles and using rocks for better drainage. The speaker emphasizes the importance of preserving and understanding these traditions for future generations, suggesting that solutions to climate challenges may lie in ancestral wisdom.
