What Is Appropriate Technology?

Appropriate technology is an ideological movement that involves small-scale, labor-intensive, energy efficient, environmentally sound, people-centered, and locally controlled projects.

Appropriate Technology Projects

• Use local materials and people-power often taking the form of “earth building”are culturally sensitive

• Have been requested by locals to fill a self-identified need

• Involve interactive collaboration where both parties grow and develop from the experience.

In addition, this method uses open-source knowledge, meaning there must be transparency in the process and outcome, and this information must be shared to ensure it is replicable.
