Open Source Ecology's goal and current engagement is building the world's first replicable, open source, modern off-grid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Village_(term) global village] 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 building the world's first replicable, open source, modern off-grid [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Village_(term) global village] 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.

Taken literally, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] means that the goods and knowledge for reproducing the complete product (the "source") is freely accessible (open), and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology ecology] is the study of living interactions between organisms and their natural environment. From a human perspective, we seek to push our vision of ecology beyond [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_crisis ecological crisis] and into ecological harmony and human productivity. | Taken literally, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source open source] means that the goods and knowledge for reproducing the complete product (the "source") is freely accessible (open), and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecology ecology] is the study of living interactions between organisms and their natural environment.
