"Seaweed Farming Key to Preventing Famine in Nuclear War, Scientists Say"

As concerns about global food shortages in the event of a nuclear war or other catastrophic events grow, scientists are advocating for the farming of seaweed as a resilient and sustainable food source. Research suggests that seaweed could thrive in the aftermath of a nuclear war, potentially providing up to 45 percent of the world's food supply within nine to 14 months. While challenges such as potential absorption of toxic substances exist, post-harvest processing and cooking can mitigate these risks. Additionally, seaweed farming could help combat climate change and provide a resilient food source in the face of environmental disruptions.
