Greener Grazing's work will result in the development of a seed bank for AT, methods to induce spore formation and to seed ropes, essential for ocean-based cultivation, and a cost effective, sub-surface ocean-based cultivation system as a template for commercial production. The project will accelerate AT cultivation as a new industry and facilitate the adoption of AT as a feed additive to improve the environmental, social and market position for US beef and dairy industries.
