Arthur Lee, the owner of MoVertical Farm, prepares to deliver his fish to market at his farm in Hong Kong's rural Yuen Long. After a career making the shipping containers that transport untold tons of freight around the world, Lee has stuck with the metal boxes in retirement, now by repurposing them as farming environments for raising crops and fish.
