The Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) catalyzes communities for a regenerative world. GEN is a growing network of regenerative communities and initiatives that bridge cultures, countries, and continents.

GEN builds bridges between policy-makers, governments, NGOs, academics, entrepreneurs, activists, community networks and ecologically-minded individuals across the globe in order to develop strategies for a global transition to resilient communities and cultures.

Setting up a greenhouse — or grow house if that’s your thing — is an expensive endeavor. Lights, irrigation, temperature control, and humidity control are all pricey systems, and then you need some way to monitor and control those systems if you want to grow anything efficiently. BioControle is a new Raspberry Pi add-on board from Upsilon Engineering that’s designed specifically to make that affordable and easy to configure.
