ABOUT THIS TALK

Using wikis and digital fabrication tools, TED Fellow Marcin Jakubowski is
open-sourcing the blueprints for 50 farm machines, allowing anyone to build
their own tractor or harvester from scratch. And that's only the first step
in a project to write an instruction set for an entire self-sustaining
village (starting cost: $10,000).
