New Zealand has been abuzz for the past couple of years with the promise of Asparagopsis and its role in the future of methane reduction. But that’s not the only game in town.
Spirulina farming could form the backbone of a new primary industry sector worth more than $100 million a year – with help from a significant investment by the country’s Sustainable Food & Fibre Futures fund (SFF Futures).
