About 3 decades ago a process of development of Appropriate Technologies entities in most of the developing countries was initiated. It often included the food and nutrition sector. It was an highly positive direction for researchers to tap and use processes and technologies based on traditional wisdoms and to filter or polish these for more effective use in policy making mechanisms.
Slowly the entities may have faded away and now coming up with different nomenclatures. So, surely the approach has a weight of knowledge base and traditions to fit in more appropriately in development countries. I would like to reinforce this line of approach and further action.
