Harnessing the feed and food potential of seaweed, insects and novel proteins #sustainablesuperfood #thefutureisnow

It all comes down to money. What are the growing and processing costs? What is a viable selling price? Which species are easiest to grow at sea, have the highest biomass yield and also the lowest processing costs? Working backwards from a commercially viable selling price is essential if seaweed is to establish itself in the wider feed or food market. Maybe processing doesn't need be or can't afford to be too complicated or expensive? Rather than simply focussing on the total protein content, and in order to be competitive and to offer a distinct nutritional advantage, it is also essential to understand and promote the health benefits of functional seaweed carbohydrates as well.
