Faroese seaweed producer Ocean Rainforest has been selected to head a major EU-funded research project.

The DKK 70m Seamark project consists of 25 international, cross-disciplinary partners that aim to build more resilient food systems and decrease reliance on fossil-based products.

The project will commence on 1 July and is due for completion in four years’ time.
