A new paper speculates future global food production problems could be solved by growing protein-dense microalgae in coastal aquaculture farms. The modeling boldly projects 100% of global protein demands could be provided by microalgae in 2050.
The delivery of microalgal biomass for use as a food or for other applications can thus also be climate resilient.Novel feeds like microalgae, seaweed and insects offer options to improve the sustainability of livestock production by providing protein-rich complements to staple feeds like grasses and feed crops.
Microalgae grow in water instead of on land and absorb nutrients directly instead of via roots. Can agri-food applications mitigate the impact of climate change?
