About
ATEC’s flagship programming involves community colleges and universities nationwide that are providing, or in the process of developing, algal cultivation and biotechnology certificates and degrees. Graduates of these programs learn practical applications of farming and biotechnology to develop skills for the algae industry workforce.
The Algae Cultivation Certificate at Santa Fe Community College covers the basic science and technology of algae cultivation and provides students with the skills required to work in the algaculture industry or create their own algaculture business.
The first recipients of the Algae Cultivation Certificate graduated in May, 2018, with their degree in Controlled Environment Agriculture, A.A.S.

The Algae Technology Educational Consortium (ATEC) is a program of the Algae Foundation. Our mission is to promote the power of algae to transform human society and the environment upon which it depends and to facilitate a future in which algae are a fundamental source of energy, nutrition, products and ecological services for sustainable societies globally.
