Show Notes
Joyeeta Das, co-founder and CEO of SamudraOceans, discusses how seaweed has an incredible variety of uses, including food, fuel, fertiliser and bioplastics; how coastal towns are facing the biggest danger from climate change, but could also contain vital ocean expertise; and the challenge of finding patient investors that will back causes over maximising profits.
SamudraOceans is developing automated technologies to transform the industry of seaweed farming. Das explains how the emerging sector is largely manual but with the right introduction of AI and robotics, could make all the difference in the global fight against man-made climate change. Das also describes why the ocean is one of the hardest environments to engineer for, including space.
