37. Spirulina – food for the universe

Several crises are endangering the ecosystems, atmosphere and biodiversity of the world. The problems are caused substantially by the current needs to expand food production and to harvest fossil fuels for energy. For several decades, Spirulina species, which include some of the tiniest and most primitive organisms on Earth, have been slowly gaining significance as possible players in mankind’s quest to live more sustainably in relation to the planet’s finite resources. These species have the potential to produce both food and biofuel far more rapidly and efficiently, and with a much smaller environmental footprint, than conventional crops. The phrase ‘food of the future’ has become associated with these extraordinary microscopic organisms, and very recently they have been considered as key resources for human colonisation of the universe. As our environmental and associated societal problems continue to deteriorate, it is important that society becomes more familiar with the use of Spirulina to alleviate some of our most pressing issues.
