Open design communities design for inclusion, modularity, bio-degradability, the shared use of machinery and combined with distributed microfactories, prefigure a demand-based economy 'of scope' that aims to replace a suppy-driven economy 'of scale'. This intervention will offer a tour of such open agricultural machining communities, contextualized within the FLOK transition program towards a peer-based social knowledge economy underwritten by the government in Ecuador (floksociety.org).1 aBauwens, Michel  uhttps://degrowth.community/conference2014/scientific-papers/3760
