vue - The Azolla Project at Colorado State University

People have been growing algae-seaweed for a long time. But when scientist and engineers get involved they ultimately want to optimize growth and build systems that offer higher yields. What Jason Prapas (Research Scientist-The Energy Institute at Colorado State University) intends to do with The Azolla Project is to create a low-cost growth environment that regulates temperature and relative humidity and produce an environment where Azolla can grow at the highest yield possible. With growing concerns about dwindling resources, growing populations, and increased needs for protein sources, Azolla is a really elegant solution to a lot of these problems because it offers two solutions: 1. Azolla acts as a feed for cattle and poultry. 2. It’s also a fertilizer. For more videos about CSU, check out Colorado State University's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/coloradostateuniv
