The Sea to Soil Resilience Network is a national partnership scaling the use of farmed kelp as a biostimulant across 1 Million acres of U.S. farmland
Value of Sea & Soil Health
Backed by a growing body of science, these seaweed inputs reduce synthetic fertilizer use by up to 30%, cut irrigation needs by 25%, and help crops retain nutrients under climate stress—all while building healthier soils.
The SSRN partnership will accelerate research, farmer training, and solidify a supply chain to bring a consistent supply of highest quality kelp and its biodiversity from the sea to a soil health solution that lowers input costs and banks carbon.
Science-Driven
From selecting the best seedstock to harvesting when seagreens are most nutrient-rich, kelp farmers and scientists in the SSRN partnership have optimized the cultivation process to ensure that the soil microbes growing American crops get the most bioactive benefits possible
There are approximately 1.2 billion acres of farmland in America. A 2022 USDA study found that 49% of farmers reported soil-related concerns in their fields.
Breathing life back into the soil is the foundation for protecting the legacy and securing the future of American agriculture.

Rooted in North America’s working waters, GreenWave is a leading nonprofit advancing regenerative ocean farming and growing a network of practitioners and partners driving kelp-based solutions that strengthen coastal economies. For over a decade, they’ve mobilized tools and resources to shape a blue economy—built and led by ocean farmers.
Now, GreenWave is partnering with land-based producers and organizations to connect sea and soil, turning farmed kelp into biostimulants that build healthy soils, boost yields, and strengthen agricultural resilience.
This growing network will coordinate field trials, support peer-to-peer farmer learning, and invest in the infrastructure needed to scale kelp biostimulant use across one million acres of farmland.
