Appropriate technology is a well known and controversial term.
But it is not merely technology that needs to be appropriate, but rather we need:
- Appropriate development to create abundance and end poverty. This is participatory and sensitive to the context.
- Appropriate living - another way to say green living, perhaps, but with more awareness of context.
Solutions which are imposed are generally not appropriate, in that they are often unsuitable and the stakeholders do not feel ownership.
