Hong Kong port is one of the largest in the world. A familiar picture next to him - dozens of old shipping containers. It was to them that local resident Arthur Lee decided to give a second life. He converted 30 of them into a farm.
Hong Kong has an acute shortage of fertile land. Most of the products are imported. That's why Arthur's farm got everyone's attention..
All his life, the man worked in the field of cargo transportation. He started farming six years ago when he retired.
Arthur also set up a fish farm here.. In an artificial pond - jade perch. Its tender, fatty meat is a record source of amino acids.
In Asia, it is considered a delicacy.. The fry of this perch are imported from Australia..
Plants are grown in filtered pond water. Fertilizers - only organic. Temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, nutrients and light are carefully controlled. The farm is located in a vacant lot in the suburbs of Hong Kong.
All vegetables are sold at the local market. Eco-products are in demand. A bunch of watercress costs $ 2.5-4. Jade bass is $ 10 apiece..
