The Development Center for Appropriate Technology (DCAT) was founded in 1991 as a 501(c)(3) public service nonprofit organization for the purpose of supporting the development and use of sustainable approaches to meeting human and ecological needs through the appropriate use of technology. We know that today's complex problems cannot be solved by using technology independent of its context.
