Connecting modules for a circular food-sanitation-agriculture-system

For the OSCEdays 2017 we want to connect the community around the nutrient cycle which includes

FOOD: growing, harvesting, storing, transporting, preserving, preparing, biochar production, distributing
WATER: harvesting, purifying, hygienization, storing, distributing
RECYCLING: sanitation, hygienization, composting, methanization, storing, transporting, fertilizing

During the 2nd DocuDays on 8./9. April and the following weeks we invite as many existing projects as possible to contribute their manuals and other documentation to the community by the middle of May. This way each participating city will have a chance to choose from the pool of projects. During the actual OSCEdays this year these can then be built, adapted and iterated during the hackathon to start creating a pool of instructions that are ready to become a circular economy around some of the most basic needs: good soils, food, water, energy and sanitation.

These challenges, actions, projects and ideas have appeared in the forum so far. Please let us know if you have been part of one of them and would be interested in joining the shared effort this year. If you find any more or know of Open Source projetcs and instructions that are not documented here, please add them.

rocket or Hobo stove (simple, less efficient)

wood gasifier stove (more complex and efficient, produces biochar for terra preta)

#10

yes, their are students from industrial design. they have to develop this project until friday when they have to document and create all the info to the product can be produced.

#11

Maybe we can get these non-open source projects to share their experience: https://www.engineeringforchange.org/

Ok, we’ve made a start today, let’s keep going with

  • adding more links to the existing categories
  • new categories, i.e. fungi…

please edit the wiki instead of adding comments if you have links to good instructions (or better than those posted)

they have these cups at the CRCLRlab in Berlin:


they make cups from recycled coffee grinds and biopolymers

for contact here’s their German language website: https://www.kaffeeform.com
