Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter both for marine life and for the climate. This public lecture, streamed live from Aarhus University, looks at what seaweed and algae really are, how they differ from plants and animals, and how they are cultivated both at sea and on land.
The talk also explores whether seaweed can help meet today's challenges in health, food, climate and the environment, and includes a tasting that takes you into seaweed's flavour world. It is an updated version of a lecture first given in autumn 2020.
