It is agricultural in that it cultivates useful plants and animals for human uses

It is ecological in that is utilizes the interconnectedness of different organisms.

It is open source in that all information is shared online without restriction. This includes sharing designs for farm equipment, giving away free seeds and cuttings and spreading know-how through wikis, forums, online videos and other tools.

Open Source AgroEcology includes replicable, open source, optimized agricultural techniques and the replicable, open source technology needed to implement advanced permacultural techniques.
