Tiada rumah tanpa kolam, which means “no home without a fish pond”, is the new motto of the village of Kampung Patin in Indonesia – a settlement where fish farming has elevated a once-impoverished community into the realms of prosperity. It’s a peculiar tale – the village was relocated in the 1990s after its original incarnation was sacrificed for a hydroelectric reservoir – but it’s also one with a positive element, as pangasius aquaculture now accounts for the livelihoods of six out of every seven households. Is it a model that could work more widely?
