The mission of OSE Agriculture is to create replicable infrastructures to feed the world.

The vision for OSE Agriculture is to create a replicable model for year-round, full-diet, Collaborative Production agriculture operations that can be established on a year time-scale using open source equipment and knowhow.

The critical path for Factor e Farm agriculture is:

  1. Requirements: Define dietary needs for a person for a one acre per person scenario in the temperate zone.
  2. Advice: Establish an Agriculture Review Board.
  3. Plan: Define a comprehensive agricultural yield, economic, and ergonomic plan for a year-round diet, fuel, and fiber production operation - scaled to one person per acre for 12 people via Collaborative Production. Do so for each of 2 phases: (1) access to 50 GVCS Tools in the stage prior to establishment of perennial agriculture; (2) same except now in the stage after establishment of perennial agriculture system; and (3), same as (1) specified for a timeline of 12 months.
  4. Execution 1: Establish perennial crops for year-round food provision option based solely on perennial resources.
  5. Execution 2: Establish equipment infrastructure to support year-round diet, fuel, and fiber provision for a community at a rate of 1 person being supported per acre.
  6. Execution 3: Establish annual crop base for the first 5 years of operation, including a Collaborative Production Model
