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. Seaweed is a perfect example of how Indigenous innovation can act as a driver, accelerator, and multiplier effect—boosting economies, creating jobs, and advancing community wellbeing while protecting the environment.

👉 Who should attend?
– Indigenous business and community leaders in food and ocean sectors
– Researchers and academics in agri-food, marine science, and sustainability
– Policymakers, NGOs, and investors focused on food sovereignty and climate action

Join us as we chart the future of an Indigenous-led seaweed industry for Canada.
