Reviews"Bren Smith's book on seaweed farming is something I've been looking forward to for years." --Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything "What a remarkable book! Bren Smith has a (wild) life story to recount, a novel food-growing technique to describe, and a planet to help save. He's a deft enough writer to pull it all off, with a wry joy that left me (more than usually) hopeful about our future." --Bill McKibben, New York Times bestselling author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet and Radio Free Vermont "Seaweed is the food of the future; it's a powerhouse of nutrition and holds a world of untapped flavor and deliciousness. Bren's underwater kelp farms can feed us for years to come and the more we eat, the more we also give back to the ocean. This book leads the way." --René Redzepi, Head Chef & Co-owner Restaurant noma
