# Novalgae > Novalgae is a modern Spirulina company pioneering community-driven cultivation in India. We combine proprietary high-performance strains, strong R&D, and an innovative distributed farming model — partnering with local farmers to grow premium, nutrient-rich Spirulina at scale. ## What We Do Novalgae grows Spirulina through a network of community farmers across India. Instead of centralised mega-farms, we work with local farmers in their own villages and land, providing them with everything needed to succeed: high-quality Spirulina strains, hands-on training, capital and equipment support, and guaranteed buyback of all produce. This distributed model builds resilience, creates stable rural incomes, and delivers consistent, high-quality Spirulina to health and nutrition markets. ## Our Products - [Bellary Blue™ Spirulina](https://www.novalgae.com/#bellary): Novalgae's proprietary Spirulina strain developed for North Karnataka and South Western Andhra Pradesh. 30% more climate resilient and 20% faster-growing than standard strains.
