It contributes to human health and nutrition by providing a rich nutritional profile. It's farming with regenerative agricultural models that promote rural livelihood, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve soil health through low-cost production and value addition. The potential of mycoprotein innovation and climate-smart food systems is posing increasing challenges in post-harvest management and technical expertise. Mushrooms, with the objective of climate resilience and sustainable development, offer a nutrient-dense and eco-friendly protein source.
