Experiencing the Functionality of Mathematical Indigenous ICTs on Community Development: A Case of Farm House Dairy Product
Abstract
The use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in agriculture is fundamental to rural development especially in the 21st century (Rashid, et al., 2007). This chapter thus illustrates the use of an indigenous technology using the case of Madila production in a Dairy House Farm at Molapowabojang, a rural village in Southern District of Botswana. The Dairy House Farm started production in 2002 with the aim of producing both fresh and sour or curdled milk (Madila). Although traditionally madila was for subsistence family consumption, the use of community-compatible ICT, namely, sieve like plastic bag, natural sun beam and cooling system made from a wooden shelter, combined with modern machines such as milking machines (milk tubes attached to the cow’s udder) have enabled the Dintwa family to convert the practice into commercial industry.
