Template:Highlighted appropriate technology project
Welcome to Appropedia's Portal page for Appropriate Technology
Appropriate technology is technology that is appropriate to the environmental, cultural and economic situation it is intended for. It usually describes technologies which are suitable for use in the majority world (or "developing nations").
Note that appropriate technology could apply to most things on this website. Appropriate technology is not about defining a particular technology as appropriate for all situations, but about principles for choosing the appropriate technology for a given situation.
The focus of this portal is on links to Appropedia categories that include examples of technologies suitable for the majority world.
