Together with marine conservationist, Gabriella D’Cruz and Takshama Pandit from Food is Political we are taking a free dive to the great big ocean of seaweed.

Every Saturday we unlock the secrets of seaweed forests, discovering the myriad ways we already use seaweed, conversing with coastal communities and delving into some delicious seaweed recipes. All with a focus on seaweed in India.

Why Seaweed? Why Not.

In India, two states coastline alone dominate large-scale seaweed production, and the government’s policies are likely to stimulate production further across various states. As seaweed garners growing importance, we wish to hold a conversation that provides an understanding of what the seaweed space currently looks like in India, and how it can engage audiences in safe production and responsible consumption of seaweed without adversely affecting biodiversity and the ecosystem.

We’ll be collecting and sharing resources on our notion page here.
