Farmers seem reluctant to change.
The film introduces farmer Tadegla Tohouede and his two wives. The film shows the project workers' attitude towards the farmers' knowledge and their oil-palm cropping system. The Inuit Environmental Knowledge display shows an example of an Inuit environmental management system, a research programme that has been recording and analysing Nunavik Inuit environmental knowledge for the last 12 years in northern Quebec. The multimedia display entitled Inuit Environmental Knowledge in the Service of Mankind involves the marriage of maps and text data with voice, music, graphics, photos, video and satellite images. It describes a model of an IEK management system and how Inuit environmental knowledge is being used in the circumpolar world as well as for mankind in general.
