Could ocean-grown seaweed help reverse the effects of climate change?
In short: While terrestrial plant agriculture is vital for carbon removal, it carries a significant carbon footprint. This video explores why researchers are looking toward the oceans and seaweed as a potential tool to mitigate climate change.
The video examines the potential for seaweed to serve as a powerful carbon-removing tool. While land-based agriculture is essential for capturing carbon, the process itself generates a notable carbon footprint. Researchers are now investigating whether seaweed can provide a more efficient way to help reverse the impacts of climate change.
