Salmon farm Maashorst is currently working on the realization of the first salmon farm in the Netherlands. The goal is to have the first Dutch land-based, nature-inclusive, animal-friendly and most modern controlled salmon farm operational within 3 years, on a former pig farm, where at least 80 tonnes of salmon are grown, processed and sold in the region on an annual basis. Through smart production methods and innovative filtration systems (in-house developed purification, monitoring and process control systems), we are able to offer the best animal conditions year round, have no negative impact on the environment and manage to do so without the use of antibiotics and chemicals. The salmon farm has a facilitating role between institutes and companies in which the exchange of knowledge and building on each other's expertise plays an essential role. To make a positive contribution to the transition to a more sustainable food system.
