How can we make the biggest sustainable impact? This question led to the launch of Seaweedland in 2022 by Sven Rusticus, an engineer from Delft University and digital media entrepreneur. Working with his friend and pharmaceutical entrepreneur Anko Kuil, a strategy was developed to build the most sustainable and innovative seaweed production facility possible.
Land-based agriculture, especially in horticulture, has undergone remarkable advancements. Techniques for cultivating fruits and vegetables have been revolutionized by automation, precision farming and scalable production methods. These innovations provide a blueprint for what’s possible in seaweed cultivation.
By adopting a technical and innovative perspective, we aim to bridge this gap. Applying technology to seaweed farming can unlock its potential, making it a key player in sustainable industries.
Seaweedland is located within Hortimare, the world’s leading specialist in seaweed seed breeding and cultivation. By combining Hortimare's expertise in starting material and the life cycles of various seaweed species with Seaweedland's knowledge and experience in seaweed farming, a unique synergy was created. This partnership helps both companies and the entire seaweed industry advance through learning and collaboration. We invite you to visit our R&D location at Hortimare!
