项目摘要

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.

在今天的发达国家，气候变化和粮食安全问题备受关注。随着我们的地球及其人口的发展，人们越来越重视能够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，它符合许多创新的、类似植物的替代蛋白质生产的条件，这些蛋白质生产采用了积极的气候方法。NSERC正在支持北岛学院（NIC）与不列颠哥伦比亚省最大的海藻养殖公司卡斯卡迪亚海藻公司（CSC）合作，绘制从海藻在初级加工设施上岸到准备运往二次加工的价值流图。该项目将侧重于初步加工，以确定从原料生物质中开发货架稳定的海藻产品的设备、方法和配方。研究结果将由CSC在温哥华岛的一个新的食品中心设施中使用，并将使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受益。建设加拿大的海藻养殖业将带来数千吨的食物，可持续和有意义的就业机会，并为我们的沿海社区带来急需的收入注入。
