Halifax – While perusing the news this afternoon, I came across a story that piqued my interest because it was about sustainable farming of salmon on dry land, and not in the ocean, as most salmon-farming is done. Of course, I called the company.

Rob Johnson, the sustainable seafood coordinator for the Halifax-based Ecology Action Centre was quoted by CTV News as saying this was a specific opportunity for Nova Scotia, and especially because the company has developed a "world-leading technology. "Government would be well advised to be supportive of leading edge technology … to really aid in the development, commercialization and distribution of this technology," he added.
