Building a sustainable food house in the trailer for 'Greenhouse By Joost'

“Who knew it would actually be so hard to do the right thing?” Yes indeed… Madman Films has released the trailer for a documentary film titled < em>Greenhouse By Joost, which premieres this month at the Melbourne Film Festival in Australia. This Australian documentary follows a florist/entrepreneur named Joost Bakker who decides to attempt the impossible - build a home with 100% sustainable, non-toxic materials that recycle, reuse and grow everything in one place. Joost Bakker studies what it would be like to grow all the food you need, leaving no waste, right on your doorstep. Extending a lifetime of zero-waste activism, visionary designer Joost designs the "Future Food System" (official site), a self-sufficient residence that provides shelter, food and energy while reusing by-products. It reminds me of the documentary The Biggest Little Farm where they learn how remarkably difficult it is to be biodynamic and sustainable, it takes a lot of work. But it may be possible! I'm curious to know.

Here is the official trailer (+ poster) of the Permezel & Skirving documentary Greenhouse By Joost, on YouTube:

From MIFF: "Extending the value of a lifetime of zero-waste activism, visionary designer Bakker designs the Future Food System, a self-sufficient residence that provides shelter, food and energy while reusing by-products as fuel or fertilizer. Joined by acclaimed chefs Matt Stone and Jo Barrett, he works with a team of builders, engineers, and experts in agriculture, aquaponics, and even biochemistry to complete the project at Fed Square. of Melbourne – culminating in the launch of a unique farm-to-table restaurant.” Greenhouse By Joost is co-directed by documentary producers/filmmakers Bruce Permezel (TV director on Bodyline: The Ultimate Test, The Obesity Myth) & Rhian Skirving (des docs Rock n Roll Nerd, Matilda & Me, Kindness of Strangers, Change My Race). Produced by Nick Batzias and Charlotte Wheaton. This just premiered at the 2022 Melbourne Film Festival in Australia. Madman Films will debut Greenhouse By Joost in Australia sometime later in 2022/early 2023 - stay tuned for more updates. No other release date has yet been set.
