Open Source Ecology: free technology for agriculture and industry

Marcin Jakubowski is the founder of a project called Open Source Ecology , which has as its purpose the creation of prototype machines, open source and low-cost, necessary for sustainable agriculture and small industrial activities.

These devices are designed to last and be made much money, much less than similar products on the market, but most easily installed by anyone with a DIY spirit.
What can I say ...! A revolutionary design that can open up significant opportunities and scenarios, available to all and respect for the environment!

Better organize your home garden

Gardening can be a very charming work, and like other sciences, a little bit of knowledge can not hurt to start with the right foot. Wired has published an interesting article that provides some avenues of study and helps us to organize the space at our disposal 4 proposing solutions depending on the square footage available for our green corner.
The cultivation of a garden, even small and located in an urban context, must be planned carefully so as not to waste any resource and quality products to eat. It is useful to know the basis for the production of compost with the help of worms, techniques to recycle gray water, how to combat pests and how to help friends insects, primarily bees, useful for pollination.
If you are a geek and a fan of science fiction to make work more fun you can think of this as home to a terraforming.

Become a Keeper of Seeds with Farming

Custode di Semi con Civiltà Contadina For centuries our ancestors have cultivated the fruits of the earth keeping the seeds from one season to the next harvest. Fruits, vegetables, cereals and legumes were able to interbreed and, through natural selection, modified to fit various environments. This has generated a rich variety of plants and, consequently, the food that comes with it.
Unfortunately, the rural biodiversity, heritage of the past of our Italian agricultural tradition is threatened by neglect, by poor eating habits and techniques of industrial cultivation increasingly marked by high profitability, heedless of Exploitation over the territory.

The Seed Keepers (internationally known as Seed Savers) are a group of people who have the goal of conservation and sharing of seeds of vegetables and plants otherwise doomed to extinction, so that the richness and variety of products and flavors is preserved and transmitted to future generations.
