Seaweed forms spectacular underwater forests that matter both for life in the sea and for the planet's climate. This talk explores what seaweed and other algae really are, and how they differ from plants and animals.
The evening also looks at how seaweed is cultivated, both in the sea and on land, and at the sustainable solutions it might offer for climate, biodiversity and future food. The talk is an updated version of a lecture first given in autumn 2020, and it is streamed live from Aarhus University as part of the public science lecture series Offentlige foredrag i Naturvidenskab.
