An EU-funded project has started in Dalsland with the goal of getting farmers to start farming fish. A test facility for farming is being built as part of the project. According to official sources, fish farming could be a way for pressured farmers to earn more money.
Rikard Brax, the process leader for the project, described the effort as a way to secure alternative proteins, suggesting it could complement existing agriculture effectively. However, the project faces several challenges, including cost. It is unclear what fish species are being targeted for farming or how many farmers are currently involved.
The timeline for the project's completion and other potential obstacles beyond cost have not been disclosed.
