2020 is the year of sustainability. In a few more weeks we will be talking about how to be more efficient and reduce our impact on the environment. We are witnessing how climate change has extensive regions with years of drought that puts people's food at risk as well as the balance of today's fragile and stressed ecosystem. In this context, producing our own food makes a lot of sense. Looking for visionaries, we found Danny Hetherington who we asked to visit his house in the Perth Hills to learn what he is doing. We were amazed at the efficiency of land use. Everything is a symbiosis, everything is for something. In addition, almost arriving at his house, there are orchards that he shares with his neighbors. Danny is a generous man. He introduced us to Jo, who is a gardener and who also uses her backyard as a farm. There, she produces exotic mushrooms that are sold under  Jo's Gourmet Mushrooms brand in some of Perth's local markets, such as Palmyra Farmers Market. Danny also produces mushrooms and we know he is willing to commercialise his growing production in the next months. During the interview we were tempted with homemade bread, butter made by Dany's father and although it doesn't sound very professional, we tried an exquisite craft beer. In addition to having his farm in his backyard, Danny has photography as a hobby. We were impressed with his ability with the lens and his artistic proposal.
