Maajussille Morsian maailmalla / Farmer Wants a Wife Abroad
Fremantle Finland, MTV3, S02, 2022
Farmer Wants a Wife Abroad second season offered a welcomed challenge for sustainability practice, as the central idea of the show requires international travel. Production was located in Turkey, Italy, Norway, Iceland and Finland.
Measures were taken to lower the productions' carbon foorprint:
hiring crews locally to minimise travel emissions as well as to increase international collaboration
favouring group accommodation and providers with a sustainability certificate
using grid-power in stead of generators
favouring plant-based catering when possible
