1. ALGAE:Food for the FUTURETechnology and Innovation for Food Security

   SYED ISA SYED ALWI AlgaetechInternational, Malaysia
2. UN Report April 2011 Food needed between now and 2050 > the food needed for the last 8,000 years
3. Oil Peaked in 2008 with 6 Billion people Agriculture uses oil refined to diesel Depleting oil reserves to sustain 9 Billion people in 2050
4. 3+ Billion people are hungry today
5. Global Hunger
6. Our Food Supply is entirely dependent on an eroding foundation of fossil resources
7. + Our Food Supply is entirely dependent on an eroding foundation of fossil resources
8. = + Our Food Supply is entirely dependent on an eroding foundation of fossil resources
9. = + Our Food Supply is entirely dependent on an eroding foundation of fossil resources
10. 5 Fatal Errors of Fossil Foods
11. Food prices rise with Oil More food production needs more fuel consumption, cropland, water, fertilizers and chemicals What happens when fuel becomes unaffordable?
12. Fresh Water 1 ton of grain consumes 1000 tons of water Global annual consumption of grain is 682 million tons for 6 Billion people
13. We need Food that is Free of Fossil Resources…. We need Food for the Future!
14. Future Food Production
15. Future Food Source: A L G A E
16. Algae Supply Chain Low High SUPPLEMENTS & NUTRACEUTICALS FUNCTIONAL FOODS Value Volume ANIMAL FEED CHEMICALS BIODIESEL High Low
17. Use of Algae Recycled Water Water Nutrients Harvesting pond PBR Co2 Feeding Vessel Algae Extraction & Bio-refining Process Centrifuge Biomass Algae Oil Spirulina, Other HVP’s & Animal Feed FOR FUEL FOR FOOD FOR CLEAN WATER
18. Algae for Food Spirulinais a wholesome food supplement, richest source of protein (65-71% by dry weight), vitamins, amino acids, beta carotene, linolenic acid, minerals and other nutrients. Spirulina is claimed as non toxic, nutritious food with corrective properties against viral attacks, anemia, cancer, heptotoxicity, cardiovascular diseases, hyperglycemia, hyperlipedemia, immunodeficiency, inflammatory processes and like. 26 times more calcium than milk 1kg of Spirulina = 1,000Kg of assorted vegetables 6 times more protein than eggs 20 times protein more than milk Richest source of iron and beta carotene, as well as of vitamin B12 Has all the essential amino acids besides necessary enzymes and minerals.
19. Algae for Fuel Harvesting pond Water PBR Feeding Vessel Nutrients Extraction & Bio-refining Process Co2 Biomass Centrifuge Algae Algae Oil Oil extracted from Algae can be processed into Bio-Fuel
20. Algae for Clean Water Clean Water Clean Recycled Water Feeding Vessel Water Centrifuge Nutrients Harvesting pond PBR Co2 Algae Biomass Algae can Clean Waste Water
21. From Fossil Food to Future Food = + = + Free of Waste Water Free of Environmental Damage Free of Greenhouse Gasses and Pollution Renewable and Sustainable
22. Future Food Productionusing Algae
23. Healthier Food for:
24. Conclusion Algae and algae technology can be used in the process to sustain production of Food for the Future Future Food production will be environmentally friendly and efficient with algae technology
