Equipment for setting up and running a successful seaweed farm.
Seaweed Farmer 1.0 feeds a growing population with more seaweed (SDG 2), manages and uses natural resources in a sustainable way (SDG 12), captures CO2 (SDG 13), and restores the balance of the ocean by using seaweed as a biofilter (SDG 14). (SDG 14). But it can take a long time and a lot of work to get a seaweed farm up and running. This is why Nordic Algae is building an eco-system that will help seaweed farmers succeed at every step of the way and provide a steady supply of biomass to the food industry. When the food industry orders seaweed ahead of time, Nordic Algae tells the farmers in their eco-system. The farmers then harvest seaweed from the best places for growing it. After that, the seaweed is sent to Nordic Algae before it is sent to the industry. The Seaweed Farmer 1.0’s automated cultivation and harvesting solution, which is attached to the farmer’s boat, ensures fast harvesting, which makes the seaweed farmer’s work worth it.
