Thank you for tuning in to Season 3, Episode 2 of the Lovolution Movement Podcast. We are so grateful to Dafne Romero for sharing some valuable time with us to share the importance of kelp. In this special 2-part episode, Dafne from North Pacific Kelp joins me from the pristine, sacred land of Haida Gwaii for an informative conversation about our incredible underwater kelp forests. We learned so much about the importance of kelp to our planet and its ecosystems, how it impacts food webs, and how we might incorporate kelp into our cooking.
