Spotlight on Superfoods
summary
Global food production must rise 50% by 2050, and microalgae (spirulina, chlorella) are pitched as scalable protein and omega‑3 sources. A lab reactor plus a bespoke LED spectral “bartender” mixes blue/red/white light, CO2 enrichment and bubbling to accelerate growth, improve CO2 conversion and deliver high‑purity biomass year‑round. Teams build demo kits and control apps, report measurable yield increases and reproducible 365‑day operation, and propose model‑based scaling with AI to keep temperature, humidity and light uniform across levels.
