🌐 Food & Ag + Ocean clusters - Nick Stern - Pacific Kelp Co.
Let's Talk Kelp!
What if strengthening our agricultural systems could also heal our oceans?
Nick Stern, co-founder of Pacific Kelp Company, is doing exactly that — harvesting giant kelp from the waters of Southeast Alaska and turning it into KelpEdge™, a liquid biostimulant that helps crops grow better, stress less, and need fewer synthetic inputs, all while regenerating the ocean ecosystems it comes from.
At this session, Nick will walk us through why kelp is one of the most promising raw materials on the planet, how PKC is building a full vertical from ocean to field, and what their early trial results — across wine grapes, nurseries, turfgrass, and more — are showing.
This one's for anyone curious about the intersection of ocean science, regenerative ag, and climate-smart food systems.
