Appropedia is an open knowledge bank for sustainability and development. It is over 5000 pages of information, and aims to empower people globally in water, sanitation, sustainable food-growing, food security, appropriate technologies, energy-efficient design, and the challenges facing communities of practice.

The project welcomes contributions, like Wikipedia. University students are among the most active contributors, but people around the globe are sharing their knowledge and experience.

Appropedia receives over 500,000 views per month, and growing - all without paid staff. Appropedia relies on you to spread these ideas, and to add to the knowledge bank.
