Farming on the land is common, but a Bengaluru-based startup Sea6 Energy has ventured into uncharted waters by farming in the sea.

Seaweed can sequester carbon-like microalgae much faster than trees and grows up to two feet a day. Moreover, it does not face the threats of drought or fire. Its usage is wide — from stabilisers in toothpaste, ice cream and other products like fish and human food too.

The harvested seaweed is carried to the coast and transported to a factory where it is processed to make products that increase the growth of agricultural plants on land. It also protects these plants from viruses and converts the seaweed into biofuel.

It helps prevent agricultural threats such as the Papaya ringspot virus and tomato leaf curl virus, a common concern among farmers in India.

#WingifyEarth encourages such proactive actions to safeguard the environment and keep it clean.
