Many explanations have been given in the context of traditional knowledge. It is a storehouse of knowledge that is passed on from one generation to another by understanding the complexity of the relationships between humans and their environment on the basis of experience, practice and culture. There is a popular saying - "The death of a wise old man is the disappearance of the whole library".

Every area of growth, including agriculture and livestock, has seen a recent uptick in the use of the term "indigenous technology." Indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) is the term used to describe the special, conventional, local knowledge that exists within and has been created around the particular circumstances of women and men who are indigenous to a given geographic location. Main sources of traditional knowledge are farmer, elderly, folk literature, stories, songs, ancient documents etc.
