A community-led “fish allotment” scheme to farm fresh fish and vegetables in the city is being trialled in Bristol.
The aquaponic farm, a variant of the water-frugal plant-growing technique hydroponics, has been set up by the Bristol Fish Project in Bedminster.
Volunteers are being offered free or “cost price” fish and green vegetables in exchange for working on the project.
Alice-Marie Archer, project founder, said the five month trial is to “find out if an urban fish farm is viable.”
