Microalgae, the future of nutrition? The most sustainable crop in the world
Microalgae could be an important part of the future nutrition for humans. What are the possibilities of this biotechnology in the near future?
At this year's Iceland Innovation Week, Mannvit has got VAXA Technologies involved to talk about microalgae and the possibilities of this biotechnology in the near future. The event is a part of Iceland Innovation Week 2022 held at Gróska, Thursday, May 19, 13:00 - 13:20 and streamed online.
Mannvit has worked closely with VAXA Technologies on their groundbreaking patented indoor production process and facility at Hellisheidi, Iceland, which is growing microalgae for aquaculture fish feed and as nutritional supplements for people. VAXA Technologies converts clean energy into food, producing the most sustainable crop in the world - microalgae rich in Omega-3 and protein.
But why microalgae and how does VAXA produce it? What could be the future the implications of algae production on food and nutrition for people? How does Vaxa convert clean energy into food products with no carbon footprint and actually producing O2 as a side product?
This event is a chance to get a glimpse into the future of food supplement production and the cutting-edge technology of producing microalgae using minimal water and land that is also carbon negative. See how VAXA Technologies' production fits perfectly within the circular economy in Hellisheidi, converting clean energy into sustainable production, in its one-of-a-kind facility.
