Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter both for life in the sea and for the planet's climate. This talk looks at what seaweed and algae actually are, and how they differ from plants and animals.
The evening also explores how seaweed is grown, both in the ocean and on land, and which sustainable solutions it might offer for climate, biodiversity and future food. The talk is part of the public science lecture series run by Aarhus University, and this is an updated version of a lecture first given in autumn 2020.
