Seaweed Production & Sustainable Potential

The focus of the talk will be on seaweed production and the sustainable resource potential that may be possible to reach with seaweed crops.

ARI produces high quality seaweed for food and ingredient products, and the company works with sustainability in such a way that potential negative impact on the environment and crop are minimized. Production methods and how well the production fits into the natural environment is crucial for both the quality of the crop and sustainability of the production.
