Can seaweed help solve some of the big challenges of the future? In this public lecture, researcher Annette Bruhn from Aarhus University, who has spent 18 years studying the cultivation and use of seaweed, explores the fascinating world of kelp and algae.
The talk looks at underwater kelp forests, which provide habitats for a wealth of marine life and play an important role for the sea environment and the climate. You will hear what seaweed and algae actually are, how seaweed is grown, and how it can be used as a sustainable resource in food, feed and new products.
Bruhn has helped develop the cultivation of sugar kelp and sea lettuce in Danish waters. The lecture is also livestreamed as part of the Public Lectures in Natural Science series, arranged by Aarhus University together with the Carlsberg Foundation.
