Historically deemed as a useless plant, seaweed has recently been hailed as a ‘wonder crop’ of the ocean. Looking at the potential economical benefits of seaweed, the Indian government is trying to establish an entire aquaculture economy with a major push for non native species like Kappaphycus alvarezii.
But a quick study reveals that this particular species is part of the world’s 100 most invasive species list.
So, why is there still an active encouragement from the government’s side to grow this species?
To understand what’s happening on ground, Akshit Sangomla & Shreya K A from Down to Earth visited several sites across different coastal states of India, trying to find answers.

Bundelkhand's Bravehearts
The Bundelkhand region in Central India has historically faced a severe water crisis. The most affected are those who are marginalized, especially women, and among those who face caste-based discrimination in rural India. Amidst this dire situation, some women were determined to find solutions at the local level rather than sitting idle. This is the story of those women who resolved to challenge the odds and fight for a better tomorrow. They took the initiative to bring water to the village by carving a path through a mountain, bringing unimaginable changes in the geographical and social landscape of the area. Watch the film to know more.
