The Ocean Farmers Kitchen - Recipes, Inspiration and Facts about the Seafood of the Future

Vision: We aim to spark curiosity for sustainable ingredients from the sea and promote the joy of cooking with mussels, oysters, and algae.Goal: Inspire more people to eat and cook sustainable food from the sea, such as mussels, oysters, and algae, and increase awareness of how our diet affects the oceans.Why: Unsustainable consumption and overfishing threaten ocean ecosystems, with most seafood consumption focused on just a few species.

By choosing local species like mussels, oysters, and algae, which are resource-efficient and improve the environment, we can reduce our environmental impact.Our Idea: Interest in sustainable seafood is growing, but many lack knowledge about how to handle and prepare these ingredients.

This project seeks to lower the barriers to using them.The project targets the general public and key knowledge spreaders, such as teachers.

On the web platform Havsbondens kök, we offer accessible recipes, tips, and facts about sustainable ingredients from the sea.

Developed with cookbook author Karolina Martinson, the recipes are supplemented with factual texts by experts from various fields.We will also produce short films demonstrating how to handle and prepare oysters, mussels, and algae, with scientists answering common questions. Additionally, we will organize courses and events, including field excursions, lectures, and outdoor cooking.

Two episodes of Matarvspodden will also be recorded with scientists focusing on algae, mussels and oysters as food.
