Appropriate Technology refers to tools, techniques, and systems that are designed to be suitable for the local context, culture, and environment. It emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and affordability, making it accessible to communities with limited resources. This approach often focuses on using local materials and labor, promoting self-sufficiency and reducing dependency on external technologies. The concept of Appropriate Technology was popularized by E.F. Schumacher in his book "Small Is Beautiful." It encourages innovation that meets the needs of people without causing harm to the environment. Examples include solar cookers, rainwater harvesting systems, and manual farming tools that enhance productivity while being environmentally friendly.
