Show Notes
Conservationists, including Chris Packham, Dale Vince, Guy Singh-Watson, and Hugh Raven, have written a letter to the Soil Association, urging them to revoke organic certification from Scottish salmon farms. They argue that salmon farming contradicts organic principles due to pollution, sea lice risks, and feed sourced from wild catches. The Soil Association acknowledges issues with fish welfare, mortality, and environmental impact, and is currently reviewing their standards. Salmon Scotland responds, labeling critics as vegan extremists and emphasizing the industrys commitment to standards and job creation. The outcome of this review could significantly impact what is considered organic in the seafood industry.
