ALGAE 101  

For several years, Mark Edwards has been authoring the popular Algae 101 blog for Algae Industry Magazine on the basics, the breakthroughs and the current state of global algae production and innovative algae foods today.

 Scalable Algae MIcrofarms 

 

Robert Henrikson writes 6 part series in Algae Industry Magazine.com.

Parallel to large algae production systems by well-funded algae ventures, is the emerging interest in smaller, scalable algae farms and business models. Evolving from projects in developing world villages, algaepreneurs have been growing spirulina algae in small outdoor greenhouses and photobioreactors. Automated smart technology combined with modular growing systems may soon make it feasible to deploy algae microfarms anywhere in the world.

Living Future Robert Henrikson presented Algae Microfarms for Resilient Community Food Production at the Living Future UnConference "Resilience & Regeneration" in Seattle, Washington May 15-17, 2013. Microfarms for home, community, urban gardens, rooftop, mobile, vertical farms.
Opening Smart Microfarm Testbed, Olympia Washington
Olympia Microfarm
The new Smart Microfarm testbed has opened near Olympia Washington. Under a larger greenhouse, spirulina algae growing ponds are insulated below and are covered with a retractable second greenhouse cover to extend the growing season by retaining heat beyond the summer months. As one of the northern most spirulina farms in operation today, this farm will demonstrate the capability of  algae microfarms in cooler climates. www.smartmicrofarms.com
This facility will test practical and affordable algae microfarms and photobioreactors for growing algae for local food and high value products in urban, community, rooftop, mobile and vertical gardens.
