Use of indigenous knowledge in agriculture is not uncommon in India, particularly among tribal communities and small-scale farmers who find the knowledge applicable, acceptable, and reliable even in a situation when modern technologies are in use with considerable impact. As agriculture remains the primary occupation of most of the communities in Northeast India, indigenous farming practices continue to find favour in certain areas despite the rapid spread of advanced agricultural technology. This study investigates into the diverse forms of indigenous cultivation practiced by the Chakhesang tribe in the Phek district of Nagaland. Data were gathered through personal interviews, observations, and group discussions with people, for whom agriculture was the mainstay. The study examines in details the various cultivation methods employed by the Chakhesang tribe, including permanent farming, shifting cultivation, „zabo‟, and agroforestry. It also explores the traditional land use patterns, tools and storage techniques employed, highlighting their significance in sustainable agriculture. The paper describes the interwoven features lying between culture and agriculture in the context of Chakhesang tribe. Further, it emphasises on the potential benefits of these practices, including environmental conservation, organic farming, soil fertility preservation, and women's empowerment.
