LANSING — For Detroit residents, easy access to fresh Great Lakes bluegill and catfish could be closer than they know. With enough seed money now in the bank from through Food Field’s FISHSTARTER campaign, the aquaponics project could take off this spring. The system has already been constructed. Food Field’s farmers needed the funds to supply the fish and purchase additional equipment. Noah Link and Alex Bryan created Food Field by transforming an abandoned school site in the Durfee neighborhood into a four-acre urban farm.
