Today's planet faces several critical problems such as resource
depletion, environmental destruction, and climate change that
affect all areas of life as we know it. Figuring out how to address
these issues and prioritizing Earth's health has been at the
forefront of study as it is a key issue that affects us all. One
element that requires further investigation is algae regarding its
potential for creating a more sustainable future across the food,
energy, and environmental sectors. Examining Algae as a Sustainable
Solution for Food, Energy, and the Environment provides insight
into the biotechnological and biorefinery aspects of algae together
with their unique applications in the agriculture and
pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, this book considers the
biological and biotechnological processes happening in the
cultivation and harvesting of algae, DNA sequencing, and genomics
of algae. Moreover, it examines the bio-remediation aspects of
algae and its utilization to produce biofuels, methane, hydrogen,
and other useful renewable sources of energy, thereby contributing
to environmental sustainability. Covering topics such as cell
biology and food science, this reference work is ideal for
academicians, researchers, industry professionals, scholars,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
