Food Sovereignty – Growing an Indigenous Seaweed Industry for Canada

How can Indigenous-led innovation in seaweed transform food sovereignty, sustainability, and economic development in Canada?

✨ In this Luminary webinar, we will:

• Explore how Indigenous knowledge and science can drive a thriving Indigenous seaweed industry
• Highlight opportunities for seaweed to strengthen food security, climate resilience, and new market development
• Share how Luminary’s research and innovation agenda is advancing Indigenous-led solutions in agri-food, ocean industries, and beyond

🎤 Hear from Indigenous leaders, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are pioneering this fast-growing sector. They’ll share lessons from global seaweed industries, the role of Indigenous knowledge in sustainable harvesting, and the partnerships needed to scale a uniquely Indigenous-led seaweed economy in Canada.

💡 Why Luminary?
Our Research & Innovation Agenda directly supports Indigenous-led projects that bring together traditional knowledge and modern science.
