Abstract

Soil fertility indicators were studied according to the perception of farmers in southern Ecuador, and this knowledge was contrasted scientific knowledge. Information was collected through surveys. Local farmer knowledge was based on qualitative soil indicators like worm presence, crop yield, and soil color and texture. Here we argue about the need to use local and scientific knowledge, to facilitate the integration and inclusion of farmers’ per-spectives in soil management and conservation.
