How algae microfarms can help transform our food culture by growing abundant healthy food in a very small area and extend the growing season, affordably and profitably. Algae are 20 times more productive than conventional food and are well known as nutrient dense superfoods with valuable health and medical benefits. Over the past 30 years, large farms have grown algae for food, feed and fuel for thousands of useful products. Now an era of microfarms is emerging. Algae microfarms can empower people to grow healthy food in their own community for food security and self-sufficiency. Robert Henrikson founded one of the world's first and largest algae farms 35 years ago. Now the time has come to introduce the algae microfarmers who are growing algae for healthy foods in their local communities.

Peace microfarms use abundance methods that preserve precious finite resources to grow freedom foods. Freedom food give consumers free choice for healthier foods for people, producers and our planet. Peace microfarms liberate growers from dependence on increasingly expensive cropland, fresh water and other non-renewable resources. Peace microfarms avoid conflicts over diminishing natural resources by growing microcrops using abundance methods. Microcrops include the full spectrum of microorganisms such as algae, yeast, fungi, bacteria, archaea, plankton and many others. Microcrops deliver sustainable advantages over field crops. Peace microfarms produce 20 to 30 times more food per acre every year than modern agriculture. Microfarms scale to any size and may be sited practically anywhere, including cities. Growers recover low cost nutrients from sterilized waste streams and transform them into valuable freedom foods and other products. Growers use abundance methods to assure a sustainable food supply for many generations.

The complete guide to a powerful food that can help rebuild our health and restore our environment. Once a food of the future, now millions of health conscious people around the world are enjoying this powerful food packed with unusual phytonutrients, antioxidants and bioactive compounds with proven health benefits. By producing food and a dazzling array of products from micro algae like spirulina within a circular bioeconomy, using only 10% of the land area compared to conventional crops, we can release agricultural land for rewilding, new forests and carbon capture. This 3.6 billion year old algae designed by nature can help restore our personal and planetary health. Revised and updated 2021.

The edited book presents sustainable adopting options in basic research for improving algal biofuels production. This book is probably first book on algal biofuels which is focused on improving the primary basic research to enhance mass scale technological production of algal biofuels. The book explores significance of basic bench top research to increase pilot scale production of algal biofuels. The books also targeting the most sustainable and economical algal biofuels option with in depth details. Further, it highlights the existing roadblock, their analysis and eco-friendly solution to control them in most greenery way. This book is highly useful for academician, researchers and industries professionals and of high interest for students of bioenergy, sustainable practices and renewable energy.

A comprehensive reference on all aspects of the isolation and cultivation of marine and freshwater algae.

Imagine Our Algae Future. Visionary Algae Architecture and Landscape Designs. How will growing algae change the world and improve our lives?Imagine our future living in cities where buildings are covered with photosynthetic skins and vertical gardens, collecting the sun's energy and producing food and energy for urban citizens. Imagine greening desert coastlines and producing food for millions of people. Imagine algae systems that recycle polluting wastes into high value animal food, fuel and biofertilizers.This book reviews algae production, products and potential today and showcases some of the amazing visions of our future from the International Algae Competition. Our future with algae offers rich and diverse opportunities that will impact every aspect of our lives.International Algae Competition is a global challenge to design our future with algae food and energy systems. As a participatory design game, Algae Competition invited global citizens from around the world to design their own future with the foods they eat, systems that grow algae, and landscapes and cityscapes they dream of living in. 140 participants responded, representing 40 countries, and they submitted some amazing designs, projects and food ideas.Growing algae offers a future beyond scarcity toward sustainability and abundance.
