About Spirulina Grow Co

Dr Ken Street is the founder of Spirulina Grow Co. He is an Australian Agricultural Scientist (BSc, PhD) who has spent most of his career working in international research and development. The primary focus of his work was to collect and conserve humankind’s ancient agricultural biodiversity. Being at the forefront of international efforts to collect and conserve mankind’s agrobiodiversity attracted the attention of one of Australia’s best documentary makers  –  the result is an educational and entertaining multi-award-winning documentary “Seedhunter” –  a topic that’s vital for the future of the planet – finding the little seeds that may help save the world from its greatest ever crisis – a global food shortage.

Through his work, Dr Ken Street has developed a keen interest in global food security and sustainability which sparked his passion for Spirulina.

Dr Street now resides in Perth Western Australia – he is Spirulina Grow Co founder and is currently working collaboratively with the Algae Research and Development Centre at Murdoch University where he is an Adjunct Professor.

Civilization as we know it is at a tipping point. There are an unprecedented array of challenges lining up that will seriously challenge our ability to produce enough food to feed the inhabitants of urban centres globally. To put it bluntly, we face a perfect storm that could cause a dystopia of apocalyptic proportions. We need a paradigm shift in how we feed ourselves. Read more …

Further, we are dying in unprecedented numbers from out-of-control diseases that are mostly preventable. The medical-industrial complex is invested in cures (many of them only marginally effective) rather than a preventative measure that includes appropriate diet and lifestyle choices. It is more profitable for them to feed us with pharmaceuticals than to prescribe the use of foods with properties that have medicinal benefits or promote the avoidance of foods and eating habits that are the root cause of our most “popular” diseases.

Spirulina is the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, has a proven array of medicinal benefits, is climate change proof, has an extremely small environmental footprint and can easily be grown at home or upscaled to larger production systems.

“A well developed Spirulina production and processing industry that creates alternative livelihood opportunities in impoverished rural areas globally. “
