Extant approaches to information provisioning to farmers to improve agricultural productivity, and thereby alleviate poverty have relied on top-down external expert-driven knowledge. Such external knowledge involves decontextualised content and the use of technical language, and is resource-intensive. An alternative view emphasises the need to explore indigenous knowledge exists in rural communities, which, in contrast, requires the use of local resources, is easily understandable, and has greater potential for adoption. This paper explores how information and communication technologies, specifically videos, can be leveraged to curate such indigenous knowledge and convert it to knowledge commons. Adopting a case study approach that involved multiple sources of data collection over a nine-year period, we unearthed a dynamic process model that we labelled as knowledge commoning. It is a process through which latent-action-oriented knowledge from high-yield farmers embedded within its social context is made available as commons. The creation of knowledge commons is an iterative process between knowledge curation and knowledge dissemination, and is guided by the demand and uptake potential within local farming communities. Further, we describe how socio-cultural barriers in knowledge commoning can be overcome through scaffolding, involving the concealment of social transformation objectives within another goal desired by the community. Technological challenges can be overcome through the process of technoficing, which encompasses pursuing social objectives using technology that is appropriate for the purpose. Building on our process model, we offer contributions to theory, practice, and policy.

现有的向农民提供信息以提高农业生产力从而减轻贫困的方法依赖于自上而下的外部专家驱动的知识。这种外部知识涉及去语境化的内容和技术语言的使用，并且是资源密集型的。另一种观点强调需要探索农村社区中存在的土著知识，相比之下，这需要使用当地资源，易于理解，并且具有更大的采用潜力。本文探讨了如何利用信息和通信技术，特别是视频，来管理此类本土知识并将其转化为知识共享. 采用案例研究方法，涉及九年期间的多个数据收集源，我们发现了一个动态过程模型，我们将其标记为知识共享。这是一个过程，通过该过程，来自高产农民的潜在行动导向知识嵌入其社会背景中，作为公共资源提供。知识共享的创建是知识管理和知识传播之间的迭代过程，并以当地农业社区的需求和吸收潜力为指导。此外，我们描述了如何通过脚手架克服知识共享中的社会文化障碍，涉及将社会转型目标隐藏在社区期望的另一个目标中。技术挑战可以通过技术化过程来克服，其中包括使用适合该目的的技术来追求社会目标。基于我们的流程模型，我们为理论、实践和政策做出贡献。
