Long ignored, plankton is actually at the origin of life and makes up 90% of the ocean’s biomass. A single drop of water contains millions of individuals from whom we are direct descendants. We owe them our oxygen, the rocks of our cliffs, our climate, all our fish, our oil, and much more.
In recent years, new technologies have allowed us to better understand plankton. Catalysts for unique innovations in food, biomimicry, biodiversity regeneration, energy, carbon capture, waste elimination, and health, these microorganisms could provide decisive support in preserving life.
After captivating us with seaweed, Vincent Doumeizel takes us into another fascinating universe. What if plankton, this invisible hero, held the keys to our future?
