GrowingHome Film recordings during volunteer week.

Growing Home is about the path that Sandra & Santi have taken and continue to walk. It is about where they come from and where they are walking to.  


Two passionate gardeners, according to the permaculture principles, offer a holiday destination where you can sit back, relax, enjoy the countryside and feel at home and love food which comes straight from their garden or one of the local farms around.

TOMORROW´S FOOD

Largometraje | Benny Vink | Países Bajos | 2010-2014 | 51 min | V.O.| Competitiva



La mejor manera de saber de dónde provienen los alimentos es cultivarlos uno mismo.

El chef Jonathan Karpathios cultiva sus propias verduras, se encarga de su propio invernadero y cría sus propios cerdos. Y si hay algo que él mismo no puede producir, lo adquiere a nivel local.

Es su receta para salvar el mundo. 

Philip van Traa on B.'s Rooftop Garden



Benny Vink & Philip van Traa
                             
Today we continued to follow Philip van Traa (Grown Down Town) as he shared his vision for the Rooftop Garden at B.: A garden that invites it’s visitors to look around the corner. And an integrated garden. There are plans for chickens, for example. In his vision they feed off the leftover food that comes from the restaurant, while they fertilize the vegetables and fruit, which in turn can be served in B.’s restaurant.
