Talking Points:
-You started working with algae from a greener-energy source first -- and possibly even in its role to sequester carbon in space. What first drew you to algae for its nutritive content?

-In growing algae for its omega-3 content, you've also been able to preserve its polar lipid structure. How is this unique, and why is this so new?

-What makes Orlo growing technology so different?

-I understand you're also growing Spirulina. Can you tell us about the Spirulina Orlo is growing -- and what makes it so different?

-Many brands talk about carbon neutrality - as they seek to meet global goals for more sustainable business practices. What makes Orlo carbon neutral -- and even carbon negative?
