Algae farm in Columbus, NM (Deming) – A Columbus algae farm is being touted as a market breakthrough for a Texas-based algae company.
Qualitas Health's new algae farm in Columbus will expand the company's total acreage to 150 acres in cultivation, which company officials say is roughly equivalent to 45,000 acres of peas in terms of protein yield.
A media release said that Qualitas Health recently announced a long term, strategic partnership with commercial crop producer Green Stream Farms to triple its algae production.
With this partnership, Qualitas officials say they will achieve enough critical mass to become a sustainable omega-3 alternative, worldwide, at commercial scale.
Qualitas Health CEO Miguel Calatayud said omega-3 is an essential nutrient currently dominated by fish and krill. He added people may not realize fish and krill get their omega-3s from algae.
