How seaweed is helping this Scottish community feed each other

What does it look like when a community approaches a researcher to help them investigate a challenge they face, instead of the other way around? Seaweed Gardens wanted to explore how they could use the seaweed washed up on their beach to make fertiliser, so they could grow better food for their community kitchen. The project is a story of building resilience, and forging stronger community bonds.
