TradeWorld
The Builders Who Shelter
Building the Physical Infrastructure for Farmer-Owned Manufacturing
TradeWorld provides construction expertise, skilled trades, and fabrication capabilities to build and maintain Open Source TechWorld manufacturing facilities—from factory construction to custom equipment fabrication.
Key Contributions to Farmer-Owned Manufacturing
- ✓Manufacturing Facility Construction: Building Open Source TechWorld factories with efficient layouts, proper ventilation, and safety systems that meet OSHA standards while keeping costs low
- ✓Custom Equipment Fabrication: Welding, metal fabrication, and machining services to create specialized tools, jigs, and fixtures for tractor assembly lines
- ✓Maintenance & Repair Infrastructure: Installing hydraulic lifts, overhead cranes, compressed air systems, and electrical distribution needed for equipment manufacturing
- ✓Modular Building Systems: Designing expandable facilities that can grow as Open Source TechWorld scales from 1,000 tractors/year to 10,000+ tractors/year
- ✓Apprenticeship Training: Teaching NYEP apprentices welding, fabrication, and construction skills needed to work in Open Source TechWorld facilities
- ✓Material Sourcing: Leveraging TradeWorld's relationships with steel suppliers, concrete manufacturers, and equipment vendors to negotiate bulk pricing for facility construction
How TradeWorld Honors Your 37.2 Trillion Cells
Skilled trades are physically demanding work that can either strengthen or destroy cellular health. Repetitive motions, heavy lifting, and exposure to toxins (solvents, dust, chemicals) create cellular stress and damage. TradeWorld protects tradespeople's cellular health through cooperative safety standards, ergonomic practices, toxin-free materials, and access to cellular recovery resources. When tradespeople's cells are protected, they build the physical infrastructure (homes, schools, hospitals) that supports everyone's cellular health.
Cellular Health Benefits:
- Cooperative safety standards eliminate toxic exposures that damage cells (lead, asbestos, VOCs, solvents)
- Ergonomic practices and proper equipment prevent repetitive stress injuries and cellular inflammation
- Access to DocWorld for preventive care and early treatment of work-related cellular damage
- Reasonable schedules allow time for cellular recovery—sleep, nutrition, and physical therapy
- Training in cellular health principles helps tradespeople protect their bodies throughout their careers
