A combination of permaculture, open source equipment, and an open source collaborative development platform – dedicated to the provision of integrated food-fiber-fuel systems for advanced civilization and resilient communities
The following forums are Action forums for collaborative development. This means that these forums are dedicated to action-oriented discussion leading to ACTIONABLE ITEMS THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO COMMIT TO DOING OR TO GETTING DONE WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS. Please post all initial discussions, concepts, and explorations in the General forums sections. Once ideas are firmed up to the point of either discussing or beginning specific action items or applied experiments, they should be communicated in these forums. The purpose of doing this is to make a clear distinction between concepts (infinite) and actions (specific and limited by available resources) – as a means to effective organization which promotes completion of the GVCS, and which aims to increase the quality of participation. Therefore, if you are not ready to commit to any actionable items related to your comment, please post that discussion in the General forums section until the point that your comment can graduate to the action forums.

We are farmer scientists - working to develop a world class research center for decentralization technologies 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 evolving to freedom. Factor e Farm is the land-based facility where we put this theory, Open Source Ecology, into practice. More
I think this is a fascinating project, and one that John Robb has highlighted as an example of the potential for community fabrication. — Jeff Vail, Blog
