About Blauver

What is the blue-green revolution?

At Blauver we practice the blue-green revolution. In the 1960s, the so-called green revolution managed to dramatically increase global food production, thanks to the use of advanced technology and also to the indiscriminate use of chemical products. However, this caused terrible side effects: contamination of many aquifers, loss of genetic diversity or eutrophication of rivers, lagoons and deltas. We need new ways of producing, even more efficient, but also ones that put the ecosystems where we produce food at the center. So, to the green revolution we add a color: blue. The blue of planet Earth. This organism that welcomes us and that we have so often disregarded.

In addition, the green and blue colors are typical of chlorophyll and phycocyanin, two of the most important active ingredients of spirulina. Thus, we propose a double revolution, where in addition to continuing to increase the efficiency of food production, we also take into account the natural balance of the places where food is produced.
