Roadmap Introductions What is Indigenous Knowledge? Indigenous Knowledge & Entrepreneurship Synergy between Indigenous & Academic Knowledge: A social venture in Ethiopia AcademIK Connections Video series
Intro: HESE @ Penn State
ICIK @ Penn State ICIK is the only global indigenous knowledge resource center in the US   INreach + OUTreach Four significant barriers to the use of indigenous knowledge by academics:   Geography Rank Discipline Lack of Peer Support
Indigenous Knowledge …is the accumulated experience, wisdom and know-how of a local environment that has been developed over many generations through careful observation, listening, experimentation and adaptation
Indigenous Knowledge …is held by communities rather than individuals, and is embedded in community practices, rituals and relationships
Indigenous Knowledge …is not frozen in time
Indigenous Knowledge …is unique to a culture and based on the culture’s philosophic and cognitive system
Indigenous Knowledge …is the basis for decision making pertaining to governance, food security, human and animal health, childhood development and education and natural resource management

Injera
T’eff (Eragrostistef(Zucc) Trotter)endemic, smallest cultivated grain, drought resistant.
Making Injera Teff flour Water Mix Irsho Irsho Ferment 30-72 h @ RT 10% of fermented paste Boil 2-5 min. (absit) 3X Water Ferment 1-2 h Bake* 3-4 min. 1 side Why remove the irsho, as it takes away a significant amount of protein and vitamins? *425-450ºF,  218-232ºC
While protein content decreases and the profile of  essential amino acids appears to worsen, the overall protein digestibility may be improved by the removal of antinutritional factors such as polyphenols and phytates.
Related projects Establish an entrepreneurial injera business in Ethiopia (currently using student teams). Design of an injera making machine Scale up and optimize fermentation process for productivity and nutritional quality Reformulate injera for cost and nutritional quality FD SC 497Z, Food Product and Process Design for African Markets

  3. ICIK at Penn State Interinstitutional Consortium for Indigenous Knowledge was established at Penn State in 1995 To foster INreach to the academy that is integral to OUTreach from the academy (graphic?) 2004 survey of Penn State teaching, research and extension staff identified 4 significant barriers to the use of indigenous knowledge by academics: Geography, Rank, Discipline and Lack of Peer Support were barriers. AcademIK Connections is a HESE/ICIK strategies to overcome lack of peer support
