Appropedia est le site pour développer et partager des solutions collaboratives en matière de durabilité , de réduction de la pauvreté et de développement international grâce à l'utilisation de principes solides et de technologies appropriées , de recherches originales et d'informations sur les projets . Nous sommes un wiki , un type de site Web qui permet à quiconque d'ajouter et de modifier du contenu. Nous vous encourageons à créer un compte afin de contribuer.
Parfois, Appropedia a été décrit comme un wiki technologique approprié , mais c'est beaucoup plus large que cela — c'est un wiki vivant vert pour toutes les questions de développement international et d'aide . Appropedia est un site ouvert permettant aux parties prenantes de se réunir et de trouver, créer et améliorer des solutions évolutives et adaptables. Cela peut inclure le partage d'informations et la collaboration avec d'autres sur la manière dont nous pouvons alléger notre empreinte écologique et vivre en harmonie avec la nature et notre environnement dans les pays développés, ou discuter par exemple de technologies à faible coût à utiliser dans le monde en développement .
