Fresh Algae Foods.
Growing along with the microfarm movement in France is the trend of using fresh harvested spirulina paste directly in foods like dips, drinks and pasta sauce. See a new video about how to make fresh dips for chip: How To Eat Fresh Spirulina Algae. This video shows how to prepare a savory Aquamole with guacamole spices and a sweet fresh fruit dip. The fresh harvested algae paste was produced by a local grower. Unlike dried algae powder or flakes, fresh harvest has virtually no taste or smell at all.

Visit to Algae Microfarms in France, by Robert Henrikson.
An algae microfarm movement is underway and it is beginning in France. This past month, I visited some of these microfarms, meeting with the pioneers and algae entrepreneurs. In 2002, I visited one of the very first algae microfarms in the South of France, Philippe Calamand’s Spiruline La Capitelle. Over one decade, 100 growers have sprung up from Southern France to as far north as Normandy. In 2004 a spirulina algae school was established at the CFFPA Center in Hyeres, engaging more people to join this community.

Freedom Foods: Superior New Foods, Low on the Food Chain, for People, Producers, and Our Planet.
Freedom foods grow low on the food chain and enhance health for our children, ourselves, growers and our ecosystems. Freedom foods grow with abundance methods, the first new agriculture in 60 years. Freedom Foods grown with resources that are free or surplus reduce the cost of food production and provide an alternative food supply that does not compete for resources with industrial agriculture. A distributed model of microfarms growing algae for food locally will enable all people access to the inputs to grow good food.
