Future Food System is a self sustaining, zero waste, productive house conceived by Joost Bakker.
Built in the heart of Melbourne - Fed Square, the Future Food System House challenges our preconception’s of the modern urban home and our food systems.
After using eWater at Greenhouse and Silo Restaurants, it an integral inclusion for Joost in the Future Food System House.
Partnering with Matt Stone & Jo Barrett
Award winning, zero-waste chefs Matt Stone and Jo Barrett will call Future Food System home for 2 months - growing, harvesting and cooking food sourced from the building. Their goal is to highlight and showcase an exciting no-waste approach to food, using the fresh produce from their home.
““The fact that we can have this amazing cleaning product that doesn’t need a chemical, so there’s nothing harmful being washed down into the drain that ends up back into our waterways and inevitably to the ocean is amazing.” ”
After long standing experience with eWater at Silo Restaurant and Oakridge Estate, eWater was the perfect hygiene management solution for the house - providing chemical free, self-sustaining cleaners, disinfectants and sanitisers.
Saving Money as well as our planet
eWater might be the most sustainable hygiene system available but it is also a no brainer from a cost perspective. Replacing an endless reliance on chemical consumables with your own onsite generator can reduce chemical costs by up to 85%.

Joost’s views on chemicals
‘Our lives are filled with over 140,000 toxic chemicals, they are now impossible to avoid. We as a culture seem to care so much about our oceans and waterways yet we use chemicals as if they somehow magically disappear, instead they ultimately end up in our ocean.
When designing zero waste restaurants I was desperate to also eliminate chemicals, an almost impossible task but with the ewater system we were able to completely eliminate chemicals.
Something I’m very proud of and Futurefoodsystem is no different. We have designed chemicals into our lives, we now must design them out. For the sake of all life on earth!’
“‘We need to radically change the way we grow food. Food systems need to be where we live and where we generate the waste. My goal is to create the biggest little ecosystem in the world.’”
