We are part of a larger community

Sustainable development, focus on welfare, sense of community, open source, and sharing economy. We aspire to cooperate with parties that share the same principles and goals with us.

Development work

The core of our development work is based on developing life-sustaining and livelihood enabling technologies. We develop, for example, solutions related to food and energy production, general production like recycling, manufacturing, refinement, and treatment of materials.

Freely shared solutions

Introduction video

Koto Coop Introduction video has been now published! The idea of Koto Coop started a couple of years ago in Finland and is a grassroots initiative for a sustainable future where we share our resources, meaning both our materials and our time.

Starting funding in teams

While we feel like it would be nice to boycott money, we think that more effective way is to gather money and other resouces in an co-op and share them to members of that co-op.

Project: Biogas

As our first project we decided to look into generating heating energy and electricity with home made biogas.
