The INSPIRE project is about researching algae from different producers that could be used as a feed component for cows on organically produced cows to produce iodine-rich milk.

There is a shortage of organic products on the market that contain iodine and dairy products are considered a very suitable iodine source for a wide group of consumers. 

Iodine deficiency was measured for the first time in Iceland in 2019 due to a change in diet and it is important to respond.
