Appropedia es el sitio para desarrollar y compartir soluciones colaborativas en sostenibilidad , reducción de la pobreza y desarrollo internacional mediante el uso de principios sólidos y tecnología apropiada , investigación original e información de proyectos . Somos un wiki , un tipo de sitio web que permite que cualquiera pueda agregar y editar contenido. Te animamos a crear una cuenta para poder contribuir.
A veces, Appropedia se ha descrito como un wiki de tecnología apropiada , pero es mucho más amplio que eso: es un wiki de vida ecológica para todos los asuntos de desarrollo y ayuda internacional . Appropedia es un sitio abierto para que las partes interesadas se reúnan y encuentren, creen y mejoren soluciones escalables y adaptables. Esto puede incluir compartir información y colaborar con otros sobre cómo podemos aligerar nuestra huella ecológica y vivir en armonía con la naturaleza y nuestro medio ambiente en países desarrollados, o discutir, por ejemplo, tecnologías de bajo costo para usar en el mundo en desarrollo .
