Building a Foundation for Farmer-Led Kelp Processing

From the GreenWave newsletter: Building a Foundation for Farmer-Led Kelp Processing
"Affordable, local kelp processing is critical to scaling the regenerative ocean farming industry. With a short harvesting window and an even shorter shelf life, raw kelp needs to be quickly processed and stabilized before it begins to deteriorate. That short window, coupled with the fact that most farmers lack access to local commercial processing facilities, impacts their ability to bring their crops to market.
Over the past two years, GreenWave has been working with farmers and other partners around the globe to develop accessible and efficient processing solutions so that farmers can own and operate more of the seaweed value chain. This allows them to increase their farm production, make connections with buyers, and create new avenues of income. A core focus of this work is to develop designs that are affordable, replicable, and scalable."
