Global issues such as environmental degradation, hunger and malnutrition, poverty, antibiotic resistance, chronic diseases, depletion of fossil fuels and other issues associated with their utilization, among others, are burdening the global population’s quality of life. Algal resources are well-positioned, prominent, and sustainable resources for providing some solutions to global challenges such as malnutrition, antibiotic resistance, and environmental degradation. Algal resources play a dual role, which is feedstocks with a broad range of applications (including healthy foods, food supplements, feeds, and bio-energy) coupled with environmental phycoremediation. This review article is amained to elucidate the potentials of algal resources from the current scientific literature and to highlight their inputs in solving current pressing global challenges. The approaches and strategies that can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development through the utilization of algal resources are also discussed.
