Summary, in English

The marine environment has an important role to play in the change-over to a green economy where the blue fields of the sea can form new and ex- panded cultivation spaces. Over the recent years there has been an increasing interest for seaweed as food in Europe. In this article we follow the sea- weed’s journey into the Swedish cuisine by letting it lead us to different places and actors. Seaweed are perceived as timeless and trivial, but is often presented as authentic and forward-looking. Sea- weed are described as healthy and useful, but also as dirty and toxic. Seaweed is a contradictory phe- nomenon and it has like other natural resources the ability to organize culture and society.
