We can’t fix global problems without changing how the world works. We practice material commons-based peer production (mCBBP) since 2011. We believe that we can better address hunger if we change the economy of food.

Greens for Good is an open and collaborative venture part of the Sensorica OVN that develops and disseminates new food production methods and instruments. Our primary focus is a device for plant protein extraction.

Vision: Ensure safe and nutritious food for all. Mission: Provide essential food processing tools, easy to build, operate and maintain, that are life-saving in times of food crisis.

ABOUT MATERIAL PEER PRODUCTION

Bitcoin is the first large scale example of digital peer production, a swarm offering a stable and secure token exchange service. Its design doesn't please everyone, but it demonstrates how peer production based on stigmergy works, moving away from central planning. We extend this new pattern to material peer production, to the development and dissemination of open source hardware.

We believe that in the near future swarms of people will produce everything. But do we really want a future where swarms of people replace corporations?

How we handle material resources?

WHY?

Modern life is global and we need to tackle wicked global problems. We only have two alternatives for large scale coordination, centralized platforms like Facebook or p2p infrastructures like Ethereum. In our opinion, the next century is defined by the antagonism between centralization and decentralization; between a new type of feudalism, where people are dispossessed of their means of production, and a p2p society, where means of production are shared among people.

THE PLAYGROUND

Greens for Good, a permissionless enterprise with the mission to develop and disseminate hardware solutions for food sovereignty and sustainability. It runs on seed funding, pretty good size community around it, great economic model to sustain it in the future.

WHY US?

Greens for Good takes a CBPP approach to providing hardware solutions for food processing. More explicitly, the hardware is designed not as a commodity but rather as a commons. In other words, it is not destined as a product to be exchanged on the market, but rather as an open source, DIY device, empowering the poor & underprivileged communities, putting them in control of their food processing means. To sustain the adoption and the use of the Greens for Good hardware solution, we are also implementing an ecosystem of services to help people around the world find the design of the hardware, learn about how to fabricate it, use and maintain it. These services are built using collaborative entrepreneurship models.

Imagine a world without hunger. Is this possible in a world where poverty and hunger are systemic? We develop technology to extract proteins from indigenous plants or byproducts of agricultural processes, which we see as a latent nutrient capacity, to bridge current protein demand deficits or during catastrophes. To widely disseminate this food crisis solution, we embed the function of protein extraction into a more generic and extensible food processing hardware platform, which can simultaneously address various labour intensive and repetitive food processing activities (grinding, juice and oil extraction, etc.). This useful and versatile device will be adopted by local communities for sustainable operations, carrying with it the function of leafy biomass protein extraction, which constitutes a latent response capacity in case of a food shortage. We use the extruder design pattern, which is easily extendable to other applications and can be adapted to various economic and entrepreneurial models.

Greens for Good is part of Sensorica, the organisation that pioneered the open value network (OVN) model, which is our flavor of mCBPP. Sensorica came online in February 2011, and for over a decade has tested and refined its model. Many communities around the world have taken inspiration from Sensorica and many have written about it.
