* Microalgae are tiny aquatic organisms that produce more than 50% of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere and provide nutrients to a wide range of marine life.
* Microalgae hold great promise as a sustainable protein source as they are low in demands for land, water, and resources, yet high in protein content.
* Microalgae boast a high protein content of up to 70% by dry weight, making them a rich source of plant-based protein.
* Microalgae have a fast growth rate, utilize fewer resources than traditional agriculture methods, and can be grown on non-arable land.
* The versatility of microalgae growth opens the door to new avenues of food production in places where traditional agriculture may prove unfeasible, making it a sustainable option for regions plagued by food insecurity.
