Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter enormously for marine life and the climate. This talk looks at what seaweed and algae actually are, how they differ from plants and animals, and how they can be farmed both at sea and on land.
The evening also explores the sustainable solutions seaweed may offer for climate, biodiversity and future food, and ends with a tasting that takes you into the flavour world of seaweed. This is an updated version of a talk first given in autumn 2020, and it is streamed live from Aarhus University as part of the public natural science lecture series.
