project is developing plans for a set of hardware tools that provide
everything you need to build a sustainable community from scratch:</p>
Open Source Ecology is a network of
farmers, engineers, and supporters that for the last two years has been
creating the Global Village Construction Set, an open source, low-cost,
high performance technological platform that allows for the easy, DIY
fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to
build a sustainable civilization with modern comforts. The GVCS lowers
the barriers to entry into farming, building, and manufacturing and can
be seen as a life-size lego-like set of modular tools that can create
entire economies, whether in rural Missouri, where the project was
founded, in urban redevelopment, or in the developing world.<blockquote>
