FOR FARMERS

We offer unique benefits, education, finance and insurance opportunities for farmers, providing 286 farmers with our regenerative farm input packages by the end of 2024. Our specifically designed GROW program puts the farmers first, for everyone’s benefit.

FOR BUYERS

Our close cooperation with farmers enables us to keep a steady tally on supply quantity, scheduling, quality, species availability and logistics. Furthermore, the growing strategies taught in our GROW programme enables our farmers to deliver superior seaweed at a competitive price point with no doubts about provenance or impact.

FOR OCEAN PROTECTORS

We offer a sustainable solution to ocean protection and community empowerment. Through partnerships with local governments and NGOs, we are able to expand on our community-based marine protected areas (iMPAs). Our established model with farmers helps maintain the services and protection the iMPAs provide.

“Smallholders are the only proven route to scale. They have achieved this based solely on their local ecological knowledge and without any really meaningful investment in agtech. With a multidisciplinary approach and deep roots into these communities and understanding of their challenges, Coast 4C is beginning to crack the code on how we can augment their powerful knowhow.”

WE ARE LOOKING TO DEVELOP 500,000 SEAWEED FARMING FAMILIES ALL OVER SOUTH EAST ASIA.

Over 85% of global eucheumatoids are produced by small-scale fishers in the Philippines and Indonesia living at or below the poverty line and using rudimentary seaweed farming practices that are key factors in seaweed delivering on significant social and ecological outcomes.

This is a key resource for some of the poorest people on the planet and in the shallow water coastal zones where it is needed most to combat the effects of ocean acidification and eutrophication. We help these communities thrive again by enabling them to farm better, get the prices they deserve and build a sustainable business both for nature and bottom line that they can hand to their children.

What started as a means to improve the socio-economic and environmental conditions of the seaweed farmer communities in South East Asia turned into the profound purpose of establishing seaweed farming as a pillar of economic resilience.
