AB  - There is a struggle for fundamental needs, including that of nutrition, to be achieved at the global scale. At the moment, the main effort has been to ask local actors to adopt an external model. However, when considerations are taken into account regarding the environment as well as climate change, a shift towards a qualitative model is necessary to help take on this situation. A successful model must mobilize technology at a certain level in order to produce useful and required systems and goods. One must combine technological innovation with organizational innovation in order to select good practices (whether these are new or old practices) that respond to the constraints of local production and consumption that can be compatible with sustainable development. Consequently, for agriculture, as for other sectors, we put forward the concept of environmental frugal innovation. Indeed, if the marketing appropriation of technology is a dead end, then a frugal approach is only acceptable if, at the conception level, sustainable development is taken into account. In order for this to be achieved, this type of innovation must rely on creativity based on improvisation and bricolage, at the local level within a community of local practices. After a general presentation about nutrition, technology and development, where emphasis is placed on the question of satisfactory technology, we propose as an example, for educational purposes, the evolution and cultivation of two world cereals, sorghum and rice. These two could be fruitful (and could lead to a new model to follow) for a healthy diet for all, all while being mindful of the natural environment, especially in the face of climate change.
