The value chain for marine algae is expanding. The growing interest it triggers comes from the nutritional quality of algae and their richness in bioactive molecules which make them potentially usable both in the field of human and animal food and in the field of plant nutrition and health.

Olmix and INRAE share the same vision of the agricultural and food needs for the future.
This contract allows to align the priorities as far as research, innovation and economic benefits are concerned. It also gives an opportunity to diversify interactions around the interest of algae extract use in both animal and plant health sectors:
• Impact of algae extracts on nutrition and health of farm animals, aquaculture sector and on food product quality, in an antibiotic-free approach (identification of biological markers and mechanisms of action).
• Research on algae extracts composition, structure and link with their biological activities
• Identification of active ingredients and their mode of action on plant nutrition and health.
• Sustainable plant production routes, incorporating innovative algae-based crop protection strategies, linked to soil health.
