WHY SEAWEED?
Seaweed Potential for DMCs
Seaweed (macroalgae) represents a powerful nature-based solution addressing food security, climate resilience, environmental sustainability, and inclusive economic growth. Global production of farmed seaweed reached over 35 million tonnes (valued at approximately $11–12 billion) making it one of the world’s fastest-growing aquaculture sectors. Demand is further fueled by emerging innovations in agriculture, animal feed, biofuels, plastics replacement, and pharmaceuticals.
