Local River is a home storage unit for live freshwater fish combined with a mini vegetable patch. Local River is based on the principle of aquaponics coupled with the exchange and interdependence of two living organisms-plants and fish. The plants extract nutrients from the nitrate-rich fish waste. 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.
Local River responds to everyday needs for 100% traceable fresh food and aims to replace the decorative ‘TV aquarium' by an equally decorative but also functional ‘refrigerator-aquarium'.
