News Articles /

“We have been working intensively in the market for land-based aquaculture, and this agreement demonstrates the results of our efforts,” says Johnny Valle, Sales and Marketing Director at PTG Frionordica.

The delivery includes two HP 20,000 heat pumps with associated plate heat exchangers, cleaning-in-place (CIP) systems and water pumps. Each heat pump has the capacity to heat 20,000 litres of water per minute with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) exceeding 12. The equipment is scheduled for delivery by the end of 2025.

PTG frionordica has collaborated closely with the technology company Eyvi AS in Tønsberg, which is responsible for detailed planning of the delivery to Arctic Seafarm. Project Manager Vegard Wigstøl at Eyvi expressed satisfaction with the agreement signed with PTG.

“We selected PTG based on a holistic evaluation, where competitive pricing, quality and their ability to deliver a robust solution with heat pumps and heat exchangers were decisive factors. Water temperature affects both growth and health, and the smallest fish require heated water to thrive optimally. We are confident that PTG’s solution will ensure excellent fish welfare, which is a central priority in all our projects,” says Wigstøl.

“We are very proud to have been chosen by Eyvi AS for this project and look forward to a strong partnership for many years to come,” says Johnny Valle of PTG.

Once the first phase of Arctic Seafarm’s land-based aquaculture facility is completed towards the end of 2026, it is expected to produce 10,000 tonnes of salmon annually (8000 tonnes gutted). This will initially provide employment for around 40 people.

“This agreement secures high activity levels at our factory in Malmefjorden in Hustadvika municipality, where we employ approximately 60 staff and apprentices. It is an important milestone for us,” concludes Valle.

AROES (Agroecological, Regenerative, and Organic Ecosystem Services)

News Articles /

As a worldwide network of 600 partners in 80 countries on every arable continent, Regeneration International will multiply the number of certified farmers and acreage by using financial and agronomic incentives to encourage and motivate producers to adopt the best organic, regenerative, and agroecological practices. Our network building is designed to be scalable. We expect it to multiply, especially in the Global South, as farmers and land managers learn the benefits of adopting agroecological, regenerative, and organic best management practices, verifying them, and then getting paid for them. The first pilot projects have started and will become catalysts for change in their communities.

Dropping seeds along a trail?

News Articles /

I have a question – I live in Nova Scotia, growing zone 6a. Behind my home are walking trails that go through a forest – currently home to different types of pine, fir, maples, juniper berries, rose bushes, etc.

I was thinking of going a bit off the beaten path and sowing some seeds, but I don’t want to mess up the local ecosystem and whatever I plan needs to be both perennial and capable of surviving our very cold winters. I don’t own the land, it belongs to the government as far as o know, but I think having a wild food source is going to be very important in the coming years and I want to begin making preparations now in addition to my garden.

Is this strategy a viable one? Is there anything I should consider that I may be overlooking? What factors should I take into account when selecting what to sow?

Thanks in advance – I’m very new to all of this and I’m not sure what to start after doing some Basic reading here and on Wikipedia.
