Why algae
Algae are whole food, can provide more and healthier food. Also, algae can uniquely be full-circle, sustainably produced every step of the way. Microalgae grow ten times faster than traditional crops or plants, and algae can be harvested much more often than the twice a year harvest of conventional plants.
Algae do not need fertiliser, pesticides or large amounts of scarce water and land that traditional agriculture needs.
