FUNGIPRENEURS
Inclusion of vulnerable groups in rural areas by environmental awareness and social entrepreneurship through mycology
About
Fungi are an important species in Europe, playing an essential ecological role in forest ecosystems. Most forest mushrooms are marketable as medicinal or edible products, presenting themselves as a source of income for people in rural areas.
The aim of the FUNGIPRENEURS project is to support the social inclusion of vulnerable groups in rural areas through environmental awareness about the importance of fungi for the ecosystems and the marketable value of mycological resources, promoting green skills development, behaviour change, and responsible and sustainable social entrepreneurship.
