    <description><![CDATA[The most common mistake in a new seaweed project is choosing a species before looking at the water. It sounds obvious when you say it plainly. But the pressure to have a product in mind. Something to show investors, something to put in a business plan. Pushes producers toward the species decision before the site data is in. This guide works through the main variables that should drive species selection on Atlantic sites.]]></description>

    <guid>https://seaweedblueprint.com/notes/eu-novel-food-seaweed-application.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[The EU Novel Food regulation (EU 2015/2283) applies to seaweed species and seaweed-derived ingredients that do not have a documented history of significant consumption in the EU before May 1997. For many commercially interesting species and product formats, this means a formal application before the product can be sold as food in the EU. The process is manageable, but it takes longer and costs more than most producers expect.]]></description>

    <guid>https://seaweedblueprint.com/notes/seaweed-farm-cost-model-basics.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[A seaweed farm cost model that looks good in a spreadsheet and falls apart in the second season is not a cost model. It is a funding document. The difference between the two is usually a handful of specific inputs that producers either do not know about or choose to be optimistic about. This article covers the inputs that matter most.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Seaweed can be sold into four main market channels: food and food ingredients, cosmetic and personal care raw materials, agricultural biostimulants, and animal or aquafeed. Each channel has different buyers, different quality specifications, different price points, and different regulatory requirements. Choosing the right channel for your scale and your product is one of the most consequential decisions a seaweed producer makes.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A seaweed pilot that runs for a season without producing useful data is not a pilot. It is an expensive experiment. The difference between the two is knowing in advance what you are trying to measure and why. This article covers the data points that matter most in a first or second season pilot, and the ones that most producers either skip or measure inconsistently.]]></description>
