Seaweed farming is practised by thousands of women across WIO coastal communities, yet almost all production is sold as unprocessed raw material at depressed prices.
What We're Building
We are building the infrastructure and market systems that transform seaweed farming into a commercially viable, community-owned industry.
The aggregation and market development work needed to shift this industry cannot be commercially funded at this stage; foundation support has a multiplier effect, raising the price received by thousands of farming households.
