Beneath the surface, seaweed grows into underwater forests that matter as much to ocean life as trees do on land. This talk looks at what seaweed and algae actually are, why they are not plants, and how they can be cultivated both in the sea and on land.
The evening also explores how seaweed may help address challenges in health, food, climate and the environment, and includes a taste of the future through a sampling of seaweed flavours. The talk is an updated version of a lecture first given in autumn 2020, and it is streamed live from Aarhus University as part of the public natural science lecture series.
