Key Benefits
- Duckweed offers a high-protein content (20–40%), making it a valuable alternative to soy, fishmeal, and other conventional protein sources in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feeds. This helps reduce pressure on traditional agriculture and fisheries.
- Duckweed is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, doubling its biomass in as little as 24–48 hours, ensuring consistent and scalable production to meet commercial demand.
- Duckweed absorbs excess nutrients, heavy metals, and pollutants from water bodies, contributing to wastewater treatment and improving environmental health.
- Duckweed cultivation requires minimal land and water compared to traditional crops and captures significant amounts of CO₂, supporting climate change mitigation efforts.
- In integrated systems, duckweed cultivation can help maintain balanced ecosystems, supporting natural biodiversity in aquatic environments.
- Duckweed grows efficiently with low input costs, providing a more affordable feed ingredient or bioproduct for farmers and feed manufacturers.
- Beyond feed, duckweed can be processed into biofuels, fertilizers, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals, opening multiple high-value markets and revenue streams.
- Duckweed contains bioactive compounds that may enhance immunity, gut health, and overall performance in livestock and aquaculture species.
- Duckweed cultivation uses less water than traditional crops, contributing to water conservation strategies, especially in water-scarce regions.
- Businesses adopting duckweed-based products can position themselves as innovators in sustainability, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers and markets.
