'''<big>Welcome to Appropedia's Portal page for Appropriate Technology</big>'''
<div style="text-align:center; margin:-7px; padding-bottom:12px;">{{purge|'''Show new selections'''}}</div>


'''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").
<div style="float:left; width:58%;"> <!-- This width add to the the margin below to equal 100%-->


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.
