What is Factor e Farm?
Who
We are an expereimental facility. We are engaged actively in building a real-life village for demonstrating the feasibility of a sustainable , autonomous civilization thati is based on using local resources and global interconnection. By using ancient wisdom, permaculture principles, and modern production technology - we aim to demonstrate that unprecedented quality of life can be attained in a modern, off-grid community.
What
We are engaged actively in building the infrastructure for replicable, prosperous communities by developing and testing the tool set that can enable the effective building of such communities. This toolset is called the Global Village Construction Set. This is a bootstrapping set of tools that builds one technology upon another to produce a limited but sufficient set that can make building of the set, and of entire communities - not only replicable, but self-replicating. Welcome to Viral Village - a virally replicable community development pattern applicable in the first and third worlds alike - which focuses on skilling people to use knowledge and resources effectively. The focus of such an effort is developing a robust economy. To this end, we are developing, optimizing, and open-sourcing the production technologies in the Set - as a basis for a sound, local economy that is capable of trading in a global network of free enterprise.
Why
We believe that we can create a post-scarcity economy where anyone interested can trascend the struggle for survival - or material, energy, information, and intelligence scarcity.
How
Our core teaam and experimental facility intends to provide an infrastructure where people join the team on a per-project basis to deploy and test the overall Global Village Construction Set. To assist in this process, we are developing a scalable method whereby resources and talent can be pooled collaboratively, such that we can invite the required expertise for bidding on and building prototypes and products.
