Algaculture, a sustainable practice, cultivates algae for various purposes. It harnesses algae’s rapid growth and nutrient absorption to produce biofuels, food supplements, and even wastewater treatment. Algae’s efficiency in carbon dioxide fixation also aids in mitigating climate change. The innovative approach holds promise for addressing energy and environmental challenges while promoting resource efficiency.
