Land-based aquaculture has the potential to revolutionize the seafood industry by addressing environmental concerns. Seaweed, a staple food in coastal areas of Europe for thousands of years, is now being recognized as an important food source in ancient Europe. A recent study published in Nature Communications suggests that seaweed and aquatic plants played a significant role in European diets, at least until the Middle Ages. This emerging trend in aquaculture and the historical significance of seaweed as a food source highlight the potential for sustainable and nutritious alternatives in the seafood industry.
