Emily & Tara: Can we eat cyanobacteria?

As the second part in a two-part series, Emily and Tara make environmental health news palatable and link the environment's health to our own health. “Cyanobacteria are blue-green algae that produce a variety of bioactive compounds" (Zahra et al., 2020). Cyanobacteria have been considered as a potential tool for the energy crisis, food security, disease outbreaks and climate change. Why is the blame for climate change on consumers? How do we support a population of 8 billion people? ----- Can cyanobacteria be the solution?
