Transforming sustainably farmed seaweed into high quality, nutrition-rich products
Seaweed is a promising source of medicines, food products, materials, and biochemicals, whilst also providing a wide variety of ecosystem services, but in emerging markets, the industry is still very low tech, under-researched and under-funded. Out of the thousands of seaweed species, only a select few have been commercialized, and applications of currently farmed species are still very limited. Farmers struggle with inconsistent buyers and multiple middlemen, while manufacturers deal with inconsistent quality of raw material.
SEADLING addresses these industry challenges by offering technical services, training, and materials to farming communities to improve the quality and productivity of their farms, and a direct guaranteed buy-back of their harvests. Partnering with farmers and offering them professional support ensures that SEADLING has high quality, supply security, and traceability of the raw seaweed used to make their products.
