Local technologies are those that are sourced from a location using local resources and traditional know-how and practices.
Explanation:
All societies have had some form of technology. Technology should not be understood only in its modern sense of computer hardware, electronic wiring, and the cloud. There are different, more traditional technologies with a more universal definition that is not only about applying scientific knowledge to practical applications. Technology in an anthropological sense refers to the methods and skills used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of a task. Local technologies like a mortar and pestle to process grains or a handmade plow to till the ground. These technologies are often more sustainable and effective for local populations than industrial or agro-industrial solutions.
