Commercial Spirulina Production: From Flask to Farm

The result of 20 years of algae work with NASA and algae farms all over the world.

The definitive guide to building a sustainable, profitable microalgae venture.

Spirulina is more than just a superfood—it’s a revolution in high-productivity agriculture. Requiring a fraction of the land and water used by traditional crops, Spirulina farming offers an unparalleled opportunity for entrepreneurs, homesteaders, and community leaders to produce a high-value crop packed with protein and phytonutrients.

In this groundbreaking book, industry pioneer Aaron Wolf Baum, Ph.D. demystifies the process of scaling up. Drawing on two decades of hands-on experience at AlgaeLab.org and GreenSpring Farms, Baum translates complex science and engineering into a clear, actionable blueprint for success in all the stages of an algae farm:
• Farm Design & Setup: Step-by-step instructions for building a commercial-scale operation from the ground up.
• High-Output Cultivation: Proven methods for maintaining culture health and maximizing yields.
• Harvest: Efficient techniques for harvesting, processing, and packaging.
• Business Mastery: Strategic insights on getting your product sold.
• Troubleshooting: Effective solutions for common problems.

Whether your goal is profit, health, or community resilience, the tools to master Spirulina farming are now in your hands.
