Mersea Farming is a purpose-led business dedicated to making a real impact on people, planet, and the future of sustainable food and energy. At our core, we believe business should be a force for good, and we put this into practice by empowering vulnerable groups (including the homeless, ex-military personnel, and youth), through meaningful employment and pathways to shared ownership. By offering not just jobs but also a stake in the company, we help build financial security and long-term dignity for those who need it most.
Our innovative approach centres around growing both micro and macro algae, supplying processors with high-quality raw materials to develop cutting-edge products for food, feed, biofuels, and beyond. Algae farming is one of the most resource-efficient, climate-positive agricultural practices available today. It enhances marine biodiversity, sequesters carbon, and requires no freshwater or arable land.
Mersea Farming operates with a community-owned innovation model. We start with Mersea-led operations and transition ownership of our farms to community members from vulnerable backgrounds. This hybrid structure ensures quality and impact from day one, while embedding long-term social value through inclusive ownership.
With people, planet, and purpose at the heart of everything we do, Mersea Farming is pioneering a new wave of ocean-based, inclusive climate solutions. We welcome partners, collaborators, and supporters to join us in growing a sustainable and equitable algae economy.
