Why land based?

The growing world population demands highly sustainable food production to reduce GHG emissions and answer to the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement. Traditional sea based aquaculture are experiencing rising issues such as volume constraints due to biological challenges and regulations. At the same time there is a a global increase in demand for salmon, and simultaneously an increase in the price of salmon.

Smart Salmon will contribute to solve these issues by producing an eco-friendly salmon in a land based aquaculture farm in France.

What’s in it for France?

France is one of the biggest salmon consumers in the world. By introducing land based facilities, France can increase local production of salmon and food sovereignity at the same time!
