And if you need further persuasion...

Smart Salmon Group aims to play a key role in advancing sustainable food production through two major initiatives:

Enhancing Sea-Based Salmon Production:

We aim to make sea-based salmon farming more sustainable by shifting a larger part of the production cycle to land. Our project in Norway focuses on producing larger smolt (500-1000 grams) on land, reducing the need for sea-based production. This approach results in fewer lice treatments, reduced disease prevalence, and less environmental impact. 

Promoting Land-Based Full-Grown Salmon Production:

Recognizing the strong market interest in land-based salmon farming, we are committed to making it a sustainable solution for the future with leading technology providers who offers a proven track record of successful implementations and measurable results, solidifying its reputation for excellence in the field.
