CfAT Bush Tech

 

About

"Bush Tech" is another initiative by the Centre for Appropriate Technology (CfAT). This series of publications focuses on practical, sustainable technologies that are relevant to remote Indigenous communities in Australia. The goal is to provide accessible information and resources that can help improve living conditions, promote self-sufficiency, and support sustainable development.

The publications often cover topics like water management, energy solutions, and waste management, highlighting innovative approaches and traditional knowledge. By emphasizing community-driven solutions, "Bush Tech" aims to empower Indigenous communities to adopt and adapt technologies that suit their unique needs and contexts.
