I don’t think much of the name — a portmanteau of appropriate and cyclopedia (which these days connotes wikification) — but the concept of a web site devoted to “Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives” is appealing for sure. I have not yet had much time to explore, but there is a whole area on Food/Agriculture with some interesting pages. The one on Seed Fairs, for example, is full of useful advice.
Like all such sites, the value of Appropedia will grow with the number of contributors and will depend on those contributors’ diligence. I feel sure that some agrobiodiversity readers would find it useful, and that it would find your contributions welcome.
Via.
