Project information

There is urgent need for an alternative, sustainable, efficient protein production chain. This project involves research into a marine, efficient, sustainable low trophic aquaculture (LTA) value chain, based on biomass from combined seaweed-mussel cultivation. Social innovation and creation of value along the protein production chain form the key goals of the project. They are supported by breakthroughs in the natural sciences, such as selective breeding of sterile seaweeds, innovative biorefinery of seaweed biomass and insight in the carrying capacity of the natural marine ecosystem. The knowledge and skills gained are integrated in the Seaweed Learning Community, that will ensure the LTA continuity.
