OSE Deep Value Proposition

Imagine being surrounded by 30 of the most exciting people on earth.

By exciting, I mean people whose core value is nonviolence - meaning - not participating in environmental and social injustices associated with geopolitical compromise systems.

The implementation of this is a community, a replicable one, which converts local feedstocks into the lifestuff of modern civilization.

I have a dream. Factor e Farm is this experiment, on 30 acres, and I am committed to demonstrating the above is feasible even on a 30 acre scale. Years ago Michel Bauens of the Peer to Peer Foundation has questioned whether this could be The Most Important Social Experiment in the World.

Timing

With a buildup to 30 Full Time Developers by year-end 2013, we expect the community to achieve complete autonomy by year-end 2015. This means the core GVCS 50 deployed down to the ability to bootstrap another complete economy on a 40 acre scale within a time period of 1 year for replication at a cost of $10k in materials + land.

Approach Strategy

"All revolutions start in the countryside." - ungrounded claim by MJ, but apt.

Land Stewardship Contract

The essence of our work is transformation of the world from Global Geopolitical Compromise, and such transformation begins with land stewardship. Our deployment plan involves a collaborating investment from one community member who provides a land parcel on the 40 acre scale. There are strings attached: the donor sets this land up in trust, with a Board of Directors chosen from trusted OSE members - set aside as a site of permanent future heritage. The donor loses equitable interest in the land, while gaining full autonomy in collaboration with the community membership.
