Future Food
Five tons of green fish Producing sustainable salmon of high gastronomic quality, fed with circularbased feed. Our food should preferably not eat our food. This is one of the basic ideas behind the project “Five tons of green fish” that Axfoundation operates together with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and around 30 other partners. Today, farmed fish is often fed food suitable for human consumption: cereals, soy and fish caught in the wild. Through this project, Axfoundation is exploring substituting conventional feed through broad partnerships that examine insects that have eaten organic waste such as peel, cores and bread waste. The project also tests and evaluates other innovative primary products such as mycel, or sea squirts. Collaboration across sectors aim to address the complexity of the aquaculture value chain. In addition to circular-based fish feed, the project hopes to produce at least five metric tons of Swedish sustainable salmon of

high gastronomic quality. Once completed, the project shall have reduced the use of fish caught in the wild and imported soy in conventional fish feed, as well as improved the utilization of biological residual streams. The infrastructure being built will also be able to address the problem with our food eating our food in poultry and pig farming, whenever the legislation catches up for these animals and allows for insects to be used in these systems. Partners in the project are Axfoundation and SLU together with Axfood, Eskilstuna Energi & Miljö, Fazer, Grythyttan − Örebro University, Grönsakshallen Sorunda, Fiskhallen Sorunda, Härnösand energi och miljö, Lantmännen Feed, Marine Feed, Processum, Raiso, Sweco, Vattenbrukscentrum Norr, Älvdalslax. Vinnova is a co-founder of the project.
