Event Description : 'Sustainability Science: Transdisciplinary Ecological Dimensions' a talk by Prof. P.S. Ramakrishnan. School of Environmental Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University.
As part of Natural Cultural Landscapes and Sustainable Sciences. 

Chair: Dr.(Smt.) Kapila Vatsyayan

Working with local communities, and linking the ‘traditional ecological knowledge’ available with them which is based on an ‘experiential process’, and appropriately linking the same with text-book based ‘formal ecological knowledge’, such an approach is seen as the key to address a value system based sustainability related issues that is community participatory.

First in a series of four programmes on The Natural Cultural Landscapes and Sustainable Science with a special focus on agriculture and forests. The series aims to look at the traditional and the modern scientific systems together with the possibilities of convergence between the two to create a more ecologically sensitive and sustainable system suited to the demands of modern development.
