Description
Appropedia is a living library of appropriate technology, also covering sustainability and broader international development issues such as public health, water, sanitation, community development, agriculture and renewable energy.

Appropedia allows for networking, discussion, analysis and collaboration and is replete with:
- textbook style topics
- how-tos
