Why seaweed
Improves sustainability of food en feed
Seaweed represents the future of sustainable food and resource production. As the global population surges toward 10 billion by 2057, our planet faces unprecedented challenges: freshwater scarcity, changes in the climate and environmental degradation. Seaweed is a revolutionary solution and a sustainable source for feeding a growing population.
Increases healthiness of food and feed
Our seaweeds are rich in proteins - up to 40% of its dry weight - and with various vitamins, minerals, and omega-3, seaweed is a nutritional powerhouse. It grows rapidly, without the need for freshwater, making it one of the most efficient and sustainable food sources available. Furthermore, seaweed helps restore balance in the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen back into the air.
Why land based
Controlled, efficient and consistent
Seaweed farming in the ocean faces challenges regarding pollution, quality and maritime space. Land based seaweed cultivation offers the solution:
- Constant production without seasonality
- Consistent quality and traceability
- Controlled environment and high food safety
- No allergens as shellfish and mollusk
- No risk of microplastics and heavy metals
- No freshwater needed, growing seaweed on non-arable land
- Unmatched efficiency, 20 times more protein than soy per ha.
Employment and social impact
Land based seaweed cultivation is a form of saline agriculture, transforming low-fertility or saline-affected land into productive farmland. This approach fosters social and economic opportunities in coastal and arid regions, offering employment, local food production, export potential and sustainable growth. By leveraging land based seaweed cultivation, we unlock the potential of seaweed as a sustainable source for food and feed.
