Algapelago’s Cultivated Kelp Breakthrough for Crop Nutrition | The Low Energy Kelp Project

Описание: Discover how cultivated kelp and low‑energy seaweed extraction could transform the future of farming. This ‪@Innovateuk‬ and ‪@DefraUK‬ funded project is developing a novel extraction process that preserves the full bioactive potential of kelp – focused on creating higher‑quality, low‑carbon biostimulants. It also explored their potential with regard to feed supplements.

In this video, partners share how they are working together to deliver sustainable impact:

🌊Cultivating kelp in the Celtic Sea to create nature‑positive “ocean rainforests”
🔬Using stabilisation and low‑energy extraction to retain vital bioactive compounds
🌾Achieving up to 53% yield increases in wheat with ‪@RothamstedResearch‬
🐄Exploring feed supplement potential through in‑vitro rumen trials at ‪@HarperAdamsUni‬
⚙️Optimising extraction methods with Atlantic Mariculture
🚀Scaling towards commercial launch in 2026

This project is helping farmers boost yield, improve nutrient‑use efficiency, enhance crop quality, and build resilience - while supporting a more sustainable agricultural sector.
