This summer I have introduced the water fern to Under tallarna to Luis Berros Negron who is now growing it in his house / installation / performance “Earthscore Specularium” at Färgfabriken in Stockholm which includes an aquaponic system with ducks, hens, fishes and plants.

[Azolla and Ducks in the Earthscore Specularium at Färgfabriken 2015.]

The ducks at Färgfabriken immediately started to eat the Azolla when we put some in their pond. It seems like the Azolla is fun and tasty for the ducks and Luis will also be evaluating it as fodder for tilapia and hens. The space they live in at Färgfabriken is quite small, but they do have the possibility to exit the cage and roam around in a larger green house and backyard area, and they will only stay there for two-three months. In any case they have it much better than factory farmed poultry.
