Perpetuating material techniques

Description

Perpetuating material techniques involves systematically maintaining, transmitting, and refining practical methods and skills essential for producing, repairing, or preserving physical objects and infrastructure. This strategy ensures continuity of craftsmanship, supports local economies, and safeguards cultural heritage by training new practitioners, documenting processes, and adapting traditional techniques to modern needs. It remedies skill loss, obsolescence, and dependency on external technologies, thereby enhancing community resilience and sustainable resource use.
