Seaweed forms underwater forests that matter for ocean life and the climate, and new research suggests it could also help meet future challenges in health, food, climate and the environment. In this livestreamed lecture, marine biologist Annette Bruhn looks at what seaweed and other algae really are, what sets them apart from plants and animals, and how seaweed can be cultivated both in the sea and on land.
The talk also covers sustainable solutions seaweed may offer for climate, biodiversity and the food of the future. Tasting samples of seaweed dishes are included in the ticket price, giving you a chance to sample how seaweed can be prepared and what it tastes like.
