Local River by Mathieu Lehanneur: a Piece of Locavore Luxury
If you want to bring forth your hidden locavore (and happen to have quite a healthy bank balance) then the ultimate food source can be situated in your own house. Design, environmentalism and aquaponics come together in Local River by artist Mathieu Lehanneur to ensure you will never have to go far for that fish and chips supper again.
From Mathieu's website [Flash]:
The plants extract nutrients from the nitrate-rich dejecta of the fish. In doing so they act as a natural filter that purifies the water and maintains a vital balance for the eco-system in which the fish live. The same technique is used on large-scale pioneer aquaponics/fish-farms, which raise tilapia (a food fish from the Far East) and lettuce planted in trays floating on the surface of the ponds.
