There is a growing need to produce more food in a sustainable way. NordKelp draws on key expertise from Nordic (Norway, Denmark and Iceland) research institutions, a major food producer (Orkla Foods Norge) and kelp producers from Norway and the Faroe Islands to address innovation in the food sector, focusing on cultivated kelps as renewable and non-traditional food crops for the provision of safe, nutritious and flavourful ingredients to the food industry. 

The consortium will summarize and disseminate the state-of-the-art knowledge from recent and ongoing R&D activities related to the production of kelp to food applications with focus on food safety, nutritional quality, flavour, consumer preference and sustainability throughout the value-chain. The knowledge generated by the consortium will identify strengths and weaknesses of kelp ingredients and propose future-oriented solutions for a broader inclusion of cultivated kelp in manufactured food products. 

The project will also identify priority areas for further R&D work within the production of kelp and macroalgae to food applications.
