Local Wisdom is a combination of knowledge and traditions that are specific to a location, and that are passed on from generation to generation.
For example, a Dutch farmer can tell by the rustling sound of the wind through the flat wheat fields in the summer, whether the wheat is ripe for harvest. And he will tell his son or daughter that if you listens carefully, you can hear the loose wheat seeds rattling in their cups in the wind. Over the years, the next generation learns to identify this specific sound.
