Kyle Christenson came to the first Living Gift Market and decided something was missing. We needed a fish booth! Kyle loves to fish, so he felt that we needed to know more about how fish contribute to the end of world hunger.
This year, Gambusia fish will be sent to the Navajo project. Gambusia fish are voracious eaters of mosquitoes and their larvae. Fish are often used in Heifer's Urban projects. The Living Machine aquaponic trough system provides space for a horticultural crop to be grown as well as the fish, either for personal consumption or for sale. These are just a few examples culled from Heifer projects that utilize fish.
Come to the market and get the full scoop on fish. Thanks, Kyle, for inspiring us. If you're feeling inspired to sponsor a booth, the fish booth is still available.
