First, residents of the Big Apple tried out rooftop vegetable growing, then backyard bee keeping. Now the newest craze is high-rise fish rearing or Aquaponics and it's taken off in the deprived area of South Bronx. Our New York reporter Matt Wells went along to find out more.
"To resex them, we begin to put them into our larger tanks, anything from 50-gallon recycling bins or another food grade barrel. "
"Like this one here?"
"Yeah, this one here. "
Christopher Tu shows off some of the Tilapia fish which he hopes will change New York's food system. The financial crash has made it all the more important to find cheaper, better, more nutritious staples, he says.
"I was a banker. Before that I was a stockbroker, financial advisor. I even worked for Mercedes-Benz for a while and I sold Porsches, all kinds of things. "
"So you've done your fair share of conventional capitalism?" "That's it. I'm well-trained profiteer, and well versed in all the angles of the parasite economy. I think when you talk about growing fish, you're forgetting, I mean, our Mayor said that all the schools are gonna have little market gardens or little kitchen gardens. And that's been happening, why not add fish? I mean the ground has been ploughed for us; we are not the pioneers here. "城市农业在很多发展中国家普遍,但是在纽约也有实施。先前美国居民尝试屋顶蔬菜种植,还在后院养殖蜜蜂。现在又流行起高高挂起储水箱的养鱼法,又叫养耕共生。在布朗克斯区(注:纽约市最北端的一区)的贫困角落,这一方法已经开始实施。我们的纽约记者马特•威尔斯前往进行深入了解。
“要重新鉴别鱼的性别,我们开始将它们放入更大的箱子里,比如说50加仑容量的垃圾箱或是另一个粮食储备桶。”
“像这个?”
“对的,就是这一个。”
克里斯托弗•图展示了一些罗非鱼。他希望这些罗非鱼能改变纽约的饮食系统。金融危机使得找到便宜、优质和更有营养的食材变得尤为重要,克里斯托弗说。
“我曾是银行家,股票交易商,金融咨询师。我还给梅赛德斯-奔驰工作过一会 ,我卖过保时捷汽车,还有各种别的东西。”
“这么说来你给传统资本主义贡献不少呢?”
“没错,我是训练有素的奸商,在这个寄生虫般的经济体的每个角落里摸爬滚打过。我认为当谈到养鱼,别忘了我们的市长曾说所有学校都会有小型市场花园或者菜园。这种设想正在实现,那么为何不加上鱼呢?我认为道路已被开垦,我们并不是这方面的先行者。”
