Trout France

Trout farming in France is a well-regulated and sustainable industry that plays a significant role in the country's aquaculture sector. France is one of the top producers of farmed trout in Europe and is the leading European producer of "AB"-certified (organic) trout. The industry is supported by the French Interprofessional Committee for Aquaculture Products (CIPA), which brings together consumers, supply chain parties, and the WWF to ensure quality and sustainability.

Organic trout farming has shown environmental benefits compared to conventional methods, with reductions in environmental impacts per tonne in most categories, including a 35% decrease in freshwater ecotoxicity. These benefits are even more pronounced when using a surface-based functional unit. Additionally, the industry has been adopting sustainable practices, such as nutrient-balance modeling, to manage environmental impacts effectively.

Trout farming in France is not only environmentally conscious but also economically significant, with around 400 trout farms and a diverse range of high-quality products. The popularity of trout has also increased, with consumers preferring locally produced fish due to its taste and lower environmental footprint compared to salmon.

Overall, trout farming in France is a successful and sustainable industry that contributes to both the economy and environmental stewardship.
