Open Source Ecology's goal and current engagement is creating tools to build replicable, open source, modern off-grid resilient communities using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal. We seek societal transformation through interconnected self-sufficient villages and homes. This is a stepping stone to transcending survival and [[OSE_Brochure|evolving to freedom]]. [[Factor e Farm]] is the land-based facility where we put this theory into practice. | Open Source Ecology's goal and current engagement is creating tools to build replicable, open source, modern off-grid resilient communities using open source permaculture and technology to work together for providing basic needs and self replicating the entire operation at the cost of scrap metal.

We are developing and testing the set of tools required to build such a village - the [[Global Village Construction Set]]. [[Land stewardship]] and local production via open source design and digital fabrication - founded on open sharing of information - are the key features of this adventure.
