One of the world's longest-running Spirulina operations is in [http://www.auroville.org/health/food/spirulina.htm Auroville, India (informative page with details)]. There is another Indian example of small-scale culture in Madurai ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6cslNtc6P4 Youtube video here]). Some successful village-scale projects have been done in West Africa.

Spirulina grows in long spiral chains that can be easily harvested in a cloth. Small-scale cultivation is feasible, as shown by JP Jourdan in France (see [http://antenna.ch/en/malnutrition/grow-your-own-spirulina.html the pages at Antenna Technologies], including a [http://www.antenna.ch/en/malnutrition/training-module.html training module] for details). A drawback with small-scale cultivation is that it is relatively more labor-intensive and often has a lower yield than large-scale operations.
 
There is a patent about growing your own Spirulina [http://www.google.com/patents?id=_CsQAAAAEBAJ&dq=6698134 at home in a photobioreactor].
