Company May Have Just Ended World Hunger
Buried deep within rural Indiana, thousands of genetically modified salmon eggs are beginning to hatch. They’ve been designed from the ground up to be superior to the salmon raised at fish farms spanning the globe.
They grow faster, require less sustenance, and are all around cheaper to “produce”.
Sound like science fiction? As of last week, it’s science fact.
Because this school of “aquafarm fish” has just been approved for human consumption in the United States.
Some analysts say this is the first step in ending world hunger.
Others, like consumer advocacy groups, claim that scientists have gone too far.
After all, these are apex-level genetically modified organisms (GMOs) we’re dealing with. Aren’t GMOs supposed to be bad for us?
Not necessarily. Modern day corn, for example, is a GMO. Some are good, some are not.
The jury’s still out on “designer salmon”.
But that’s not stopping AquaBounty Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: AQB) from pushing the genetic envelope. To company leadership, they’re simply providing a product.
