Land-based salmon farming is emerging as a more sustainable and ecologically responsible alternative to traditional open net-pen aquaculture. Several land-based farms in the United States are offering a cleaner and climate-stable option for salmon production, with the potential for a lower carbon footprint. These farms, such as LocalCoho and Atlantic Sapphire, are able to raise salmon on land using recirculating water systems that eliminate waste and reduce environmental impact. While land-based farming currently represents a small portion of the salmon supply, experts believe it will become a significant part of the industry in the future. The shift towards land-based aquaculture is driven by concerns over the environmental impact of open net-pen farming, including pollution, disease spread, and large-scale escapes. Additionally, land-based farms have the potential to provide fresh fish locally and reduce the carbon emissions associated with long-distance transportation.
