Open Source Ecology is a non-profit organization based in Maysville, Missouri, focused on developing a global, open-source platform of modular, low-cost industrial machines intended to enable sustainable local production. Its core initiative, the Global Village Construction Set, comprises a set of tools designed to enable DIY fabrication of fifty different machines that can support farming, building, and manufacturing within communities. The organization positions itself as a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters aiming to reduce barriers to entry in essential trades and to facilitate the creation of local economies, whether in rural Missouri, urban redevelopment projects, or developing regions. The group operates with a small team and has pursued ongoing collaboration and development over the past years, including a recent staffing change noted in 2020. Open Source Ecology operates within the broader non-profit and open-source hardware ecosystem, emphasizing collaborative, access-friendly approaches to technology and infrastructure.
