Abstract
For this study, Social Analysis System (SAS) offered ways of using participatory approaches to learn Indigenous knowledge regarding mixed cropping agricultural systems. For the two Adivasi tribes in India, the Korku people and the Kuvi people, each employs a distinct method of mixed cropping. This is an in-depth article regarding context and application of the SAS participatory method. Two integral aspects of participatory research and SAS techniques in particular are noteable: building rapport with farmers before jumping into participatory exercises; utilizing the flexibility scales built into Domain Analysis techniques depending on the needs and abilities of the participants.
