S2:E35 (Full Version) - WHY KELP FORESTS MAY HOLD THE KEY TO THE FUTURE OF OUR FOOD SUPPLY

<p>Today on Animalia we dive into the wonderful, critical world of Kelp! A special type of seaweed that will likely, and hopefully as you’ll learn in this episode, be a cornerstone of our future food supply.</p> <p>This is because Kelp is a tremendously regenerative species full of nutrition. We also really need our kelp forests, and proper, ethical kelp farming can be a big step forward in protecting them. This is because they are home to thousands of critical marine species, sequester more carbon than terrestrial forests, help improve water quality, and produce a boatload of oxygen.</p> <p>What is kelp farming exactly? And how do we convince more people to eat it?</p> <p>Joining us today is <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-stephens-9aa90591" target="_blank">Tiffany Stephens, Chief Scientist for Sea Grove Kelp</a>, a kelp farm in Alaska to answer all of our burning kelp questions!</p>
