Så er det tid til at tilmelde sig årets AlgeCenter Danmark tang konference, som står i bæredygtighedens tegn. Med undertitlen “Meeting the UN sustainability goals by Innovation in Macroalgae as a Bioresource”, bliver der sat fokus på, hvordan udnyttelse af tang kan bidrage til bæredygtige løsninger.
En af årets talere er Balu Nayak fra universitetet i Maine, som vil fortælle om udvikling af bæredygtige procesteknologier i forbindelse med anvendelse af tang til fødevarer og fødevareingredienser i sit oplæg: Innovations in the sustainable seaweed processing technologies for food and food ingredients.
