I've been learning about the cultivation of algae and cyanobacteria, and I found this guide to be an interesting read. What do you guys think about algae as a potential sustainable food source?

I tried that once at home and failed. Easy to get contamination into your system and it's not so easy for the laymen to distinguish the Spirulina from other potentially less healthy micro-algae.

That's a good point! I have some training in identifying green algae microscopically (and some large Eastern US algae on a macroscopic scale) and I can definitely see how this would become an issue. Thanks for bringing this up!
