  "account": "Israelis consume a significant amount of salmon, most of which is imported. An Israeli startup, Inland Ocean, has developed a method to raise the fish locally without the use of antibiotics or hormones. Inland Ocean's system employs closed, environmentally friendly land-based facilities where water is continuously recycled, rather than being discharged into the environment as wastewater. The company's goal is also to address the global food security challenge and help solve the problem of off-flavor in farmed fish. The founders of Inland Ocean, Dr. Snir Azaria and his team, have spent five years developing their technology, which allows salmon to be raised almost anywhere there is electricity, water, and sufficient space. This production method is less dependent on the oceans and less vulnerable to climate change. The potential impact of Inland Ocean's technology on the salmon farming industry is significant.",
  "summary": "Israelis are among the world's leading consumers of salmon, most of it imported. An Israeli startup says it has found a way to raise the cold-water fish locally – without antibiotics or hormones, and with a much smaller environmental footprint",
