How often we wish that we needed not have to travel all the way tothe grocery store for the vegetables and fruits. How many times we havehoped that we had a house next to a river where we could catch a freshfish for lunch or dinner. While some are lucky to have a kitchen gardenfrom where they could pluck fresh herbs and vegetables but most of us,especially the city folks do not have our own garden and we hardly havemuch time to impersonate the angler. Mathieu Lehanneur and Anthony vanden Bossche, inspired by the Locavores who enjoy devouring foodproduced within a 100 miles radius of the city, have conceptualized ahome storage unit for fish and greens that they have christened theLocal River. Local River is your fish farm / kitchen garden thatrelies on the ecological balance of nature to help the fish and theplants to rely on each other for survival.
Theplants get their nutrients from the nitrate rich excreta of the fish.While you can depend on the Local River for your supply of herbs andsmall fries, this mini fish farm / mini garden patch cannotcompletely cancel your visit to the local market.
