In today's developed world there is significant attention focused on climate change and food security. As our planet and its population evolves, there is a new emphasis on food production that can be delivered in harmony with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Seaweed cultivation, a US$6 billion global industry, checks many of the boxes ascribed to innovative, plant-like alternative protein production using a climate positive approach. NSERC is supporting North Island College (NIC) to work with Cascadia Seaweed Corp. (CSC), the largest seaweed aquaculture company in British Columbia, to map the value stream from the time seaweed is landed at a primary processing facility until it is ready for shipment to secondary processing. The project will focus on preliminary processing to identify equipment, methodology, and formulation for developing shelf-stable seaweed products out of raw biomass. Results will be used by CSC at a new Food Hub facility on Vancouver Island, and will benefit other seaweed farmers and processors poised to exploit this new and innovative food product in North America. Building Canada's seaweed cultivation sector will result in thousands of tonnes of food, sustainable and meaningful jobs, and a much-needed revenue injection into our coastal communities.

当今的发达国家非常关注气候变化和粮食安全。随着地球及其人口的发展，人们开始重新重视与陆地和海洋生态系统和谐相处的粮食生产。海藻种植是一个价值 60 亿美元的全球产业，它满足了使用气候积极方法生产创新型植物替代蛋白的许多要求。 NSERC 正在支持北岛学院 (NIC) 与不列颠哥伦比亚省最大的海藻水产养殖公司 Cascadia Seaweed Corp. (CSC) 合作，绘制从海藻抵达初级加工设施直至准备就绪的价值流图。运送至二次加工。该项目将侧重于初步加工，以确定用原始生物质开发耐储存海藻产品的设备、方法和配方。结果将由 CSC 在温哥华岛的新食品中心设施中使用，并将有利于其他准备在北美开发这种新型创新食品的海藻养殖者和加工商。建设加拿大的海藻养殖部门将为我们的沿海社区带来数千吨粮食、可持续和有意义的就业机会以及急需的收入注入。 欲了解更多信息，请联系 NIC 应用研究、技术和创新中心经理 Naomi Tabata ([e-mail]) 或 Cascadia Seaweed 传播和参与经理 Erin Bremner-Mitchell ([e-mail]) ）。
