Beneath the surface, seaweed grows into remarkable underwater forests that support life in the sea and help regulate the climate. This talk asks whether seaweed really can help solve some of the biggest challenges of our time in areas such as health, food, climate and the environment.
The speaker explains what seaweed and other algae actually are, how they differ from plants and animals, and how seaweed can be cultivated both in the sea and on land. The evening also looks at sustainable uses of seaweed for the climate, biodiversity and future food, and ends with a tasting that explores its flavours.
