Featured Content About Open Source Ecology is a movement dedicated to the collaborative development of a Global Village Construction Set for replicable, open source, modern off-grid resilient communities. By using permaculture and digital fabrication together to provide for basic needs and open source methodology to allow low cost replication of the entire operation, we hope to empower anyone who desires to move beyond the struggle for survival and evolve to freedom. By our analysis, most of the technologies needed for an ecological, sustainable and pleasant standard of living could be reduced to the cost of scrap metal + labor. Once this technology is fully developed, there is immense potential for social transformation in building interconnected self-sufficient communities. We understand that this is an ambitious task, but we have accomplished much and are making rapid progress. Factor e Farm is the land-based facility where we are putting this theory into practice. You can check out the latest updates of our progress on the Factor e Farm blog. More detailed information about the vision, purpose, and goals of Open Source Ecology can be found in the OSE Proposal. As far as we know, this is a one of a kind project, but we hope to change that. If you know about another project like ours, please tell us about it.
