Participatory Seaweed research in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Together with the NGO JaSuDa, Hasanuddin University and Wageningen University & Research, farmers in South Sulawesi collaborated in on-farm research trials of Kappaphycus alvarezii (cottonii) seaweed cultivation. We would like to acknowledge funding of the "Food and Water Security programme" (KB35-35-101-001) by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Security.
The on-farm experiment was carried out between May and October of 2023 in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. On the plots of six seaweed farmers in two different locations, experimental longlines were set out to test if a higher start weight of the seaweed seeds leads to a higher yield.
What truly set the research apart was the collaborative process.
