RE: OpenSource Farming - the FabFarm
I wonder if you're familiar with Holmgren's scenarios and how such a high-tech system would survive in 3 out of 4 of those?
I'd much rather have a low-tech or no-tech solution, to a high tech one. In other words, it's great to use the technology while we can, but we need to use it to transition to a world not dependent on technology. Ben Falk's work also comes to mind.
I 100% agree :D Thank you so much for that awesome link- great resources! I'm new to the 'actually running a farm' thing. I grew up on a small farm (my mothers dad was a bit of a western cowboy)... my fathers father helped start a very large portion of Silicon Valley. People don't understand where their devices come from- or just how unsustainable the actual creation of tech is for the earth. Thank you for the link and thoughts!
Oh! If that's the case, I suspect this interview will be of interest to you:

There needs to be a love button. Thank you for this very awesome link. I'm going to put it into my 'blog about this idea' que.
