Why Should You Support Open Source Ecology?

Because we are building the world's first replicable post-industrial village. The program is marked by community supported agroecology, community supported manufacturing, neocommercialization, digital fabrication, and high quality documentation of all the above. All funds go back to further open source development. When the project is complete replication can be had by all at low cost. Buy out at the bottom and evolve to freedom.

What OSE needs the most is people to work on projects to develop the Global Village Construction Set in the Build a Village Project.

• You may have seen our documentation of progress at Factor e Farm - Factor e Live. We are making real things, not just ideas.

• Here are notes on the Economic Impact of OpenFarmTech.
