Mushrooms are magical! And their benefits cover vast and wide areas that can help fix some of the difficulties we have created:
- Environment: Mushrooms can be grown anywhere and do not require much water. As a matter of fact, everything in a mushroom can be eaten and therefore are zero waste!
- Culinary offering: Demands for meat and dairy alternatives are increasing and mushrooms are the perfect alternative. It is a versatile and rich ingredient that will become indispensable in all kitchen and pantries.
- Food security: The UK’s reliance on the EU is especially acute in the horticulture sector, with approximately 40% of vegetables and 37% of fruit sold in the UK imported from the EU countries. The 2020 pandemic and its subsequent lockdowns have shown the fragility of our current system. Mushroom growing can provide valuable and sustainable solutions to this crisis.
