Appropriate technology

Appropriate technology is technology that is suited to the context in which it is used. It is often small-scale and sustainable, and frequently refers to technology that is suitable for developing country applications. Low resource use makes it both more affordable and more sustainable. 
Appropriate technology may often utilize 'low tech' solutions: methods that are hand or foot powered, wind or water powered, old or new ideas.[https://permies.com/f/464/tech]
