National Family Farm Coalition was mentioned in an article about the recent closure of AquaBounty Technologies’ last remaining fish farming facility. The closure is a win for environmental activists, fishing communities, and Indigenous peoples who opposed the company’s production of genetically modified salmon.
A coalition of conservation and Indigenous groups that had campaigned against AquaBounty celebrated the announcement, saying the company’s work posed environmental and public health risks.
“It’s clear that there’s no place in the U.S. market for genetically engineered salmon,” Dana Perls, a senior program manager at Friends of the Earth (FoE) U.S., told Mongabay. “People don’t want to eat it.”
