Microalgae as the source of food, feed, and biomaterials

The global population is expected to increase by more than 30% over the next 30 years. This leads to an urgent need for increased production of food, feed, and material feedstock.

Microalgae has the potential to become a key part of the solution. Being rich in healthy protein, omega-3 fatty acids (PUFA), antioxidative pigments and 

vitamins, algae provide nutritionally complete biomass with a productivity 10-15 times higher than conventional protein crops. Moreover, oleoresins from 

microalgae are being explored as feedstock for new platform chemicals for industrial applications.

While microalgae have such enormous potential, there are several gaps and challenges that are needed to be addressed. We have gathered stakeholders from the entire value chain (researchers, producers, consumers, LCA analysts and legislative authorities) to facilitate productive dialogues that would help us along the way to realize the true potential of microalgae.
