TED: Open-sourced blueprints for civilization | Marcin Jakubowski

Martin, a farmer and technologist, founded Open Source Ecology to create open-source versions of essential machines for modern life. After realizing the lack of practical skills and sustainable tools, he developed a set of robust, low-cost, and modular tools. These tools are designed to be built and maintained by anyone, promoting industrial productivity on a small scale. The project has grown globally, with contributors prototyping new machines. The goal is to lower barriers to farming and manufacturing, empowering individuals worldwide. The initiative aims to distribute production means, create sustainable supply chains, and foster a DIY maker culture.
