Acholi Biology

Acholi Biology refers to the traditional and modern biological knowledge deeply integrated into the everyday life of the Acholi community. Historically, the Acholi people have used extensive biological insights in agriculture, animal husbandry, and traditional medicine, forming an integral part of their culture and livelihood. Through centuries of close interaction with nature, they have developed practical knowledge of medicinal plants (yat), sustainable farming methods, and ecological conservation techniques, demonstrating an intuitive understanding of biological processes and environmental stewardship.
