Guest: Ainhoa Zabala. Spirulina cultivation specialist. In previous programs we have seen how both marine and freshwater algae are increasingly cultivated and are being used in various industries. Today, we see how biofuels are being produced from algae, as well as fertilizers and food for different species of animals, for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, for the treatment of wastewater, to capture atmospheric carbon and in many Eastern cultures its use as food for humans has been around for thousands of years. However, with new cultivation techniques, both industrial and artisanal, in many other places we are beginning to see ventures that take advantage of the properties of microalgae to produce highly nutritious and healthy foods. In this episode of Agro for the 21st Century, we have the pleasure of interviewing, from Spain, the specialist in the cultivation of spirulina in an artisanal way, Ainhoa Zabala. Join us to learn about this artisanal project to produce a highly nutritious and healthy food in harmony with the environment, which is marketed locally, generates the energy it consumes and is completely managed by just two people, who with great passion carry forward this example of healthy living. Learn: What is spirulina? What are the methods that exist to cultivate spirulina? How fast does spirulina grow? What nutrient do algae use to grow? How long does the whole process take? Can it be grown in the open field or does it need to be in greenhouses? Water quality is a determining factor for growing spirulina. What characteristics does the water need to have? And many more questions. If you want to contact the interviewee, write to [email protected] Did you like this program?
