THE HOTEL KRAFT SUPPORTS THE RESEARCH ON SPIRULINA
| THE ALGAE THAT OVERCOMES MALNUTRITION Spirulina is a microscopic alga, that given in very small doses would be enough to repair the damage of an inadequate alimentation. Its effects are tangible: its richness in vitamins, mineral salts, iron and calcium, allow to combat the retardation of physical and intellectual development and malfunctioning of the immune system. It is estimated that malnutrition affects 300 million children worldwide and in order to save 36,000 young lives a day, it's not necessary to flood the South with food but instead only a few grams of Spirulina a day for 6 weeks would be enough to treat undernourished children. |

THE PRODUCTION SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY ANTENNA
TECHNOLOGIES The organization, Antenna, has developed a production system in tanks, easily utilized even in the most disadvantaged zones. For example a 20 square meter tank supplies the quantity of Spirulina necessary to re-equilibrate the nutritive state of 150 children daily. This microscopic alga is one of the few organisms able to grow in an environment which is extremely humid and alkaline, particularly considering that it is a plant that is used to growing in tropical latitudes. Easy to produce, economical, and above all, miraculous. Another prerogative is that of supplying an alternative economic development to the poorer countries. |
|
| Today, Spirulina is cultivated
in various countries using the techniques developed by Antenna
Technologies. Presently, Antenna is active in 12 countries and 30,000 children benefit by its programs. |
