Discover the world of seaweed and algae - the invisible forest systems beneath the water that form the foundation of marine ecosystems and affect our climate. Kelp forests along the planet's coasts are just as crucial for the ocean as forests are for life on land, creating both food and shelter for countless marine animals.
In this lecture, an updated version from 2020, researchers from Aarhus University share their latest findings on seaweed. You will learn what seaweed and algae actually are - and how they differ from plants and animals. Explore seaweed cultivation both at sea and on land, and investigate the solutions seaweed can offer within climate, biodiversity, and future nutrition. Finally, you will have the opportunity to taste seaweed's flavor universe and experience what the future might bring.
The lecture is streamed directly from Aarhus University as part of the series Public Lectures in Natural Science, arranged in collaboration with hosts in multiple locations and supported by the Carlsberg Foundation.
