Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter both for ocean life and for the climate. This talk, streamed live from Aarhus University, looks at what seaweed and other algae really are, and how they differ from plants and animals.
The lecture also explores how seaweed is grown both in the sea and on land, and what sustainable solutions it may offer for climate, biodiversity and future food. The evening ends with a tasting, so you can get a taste of the seaweed future. This is an updated version of a lecture first given in autumn 2020.
