Open E Land is part of a worldwide movement working to transition to a sustainable, just, resilient social-economic model. Our name reflects our beliefs:

• Knowledge should be shared openly and not encumbered by patents or trade secrets.
• Our economic, environmental, and energy problems are all linked and cannot be solved in isolation.
• We need to profoundly change our agricultural systems and our relationship with the land.

Inspired by the free software, Open Source Ecology and maker movements we’re developing our site in Extremadura, western Spain, to be a free space for learning about and developing open source projects; in the vein of energy and food production, water use, communications, structural building, or anything else which could prove of value to the world. All makeable by the general public using readily available tools with sustainable, natural and recycled materials.
