Controlled seaweed cultivation on land
Why seaweed
Improves health
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.
Sustainable food
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.
Lowers methane emissions
The red seaweed Asparagopsis offers a natural way to cut methane emissions from cows by up to 80%. This seaweed contains bromoform, which, when added to cattle feed, disrupts the methane production process in the cow’s first stomach. The solution is already widely used in Australia, while in Europe, Seaweedland and Hortimare are at the forefront of advancing research in this field.
Why land based
Controlled, efficient and consistent
Seaweed farming in the ocean faces growing problems regarding quality consistency, supply and pollution. Land based offers the following benefits:
- Consistent quality, without allergens
- Consistent production without seasonality
- High food safety without the risk of heavy metals
- No freshwater needed
- Unmatched efficiency, ten times more protein per ha than soy.
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.
