Kontext

Fungigo is an innovative project that aims to carry out actions in rural areas for the sustainability of wild mushrooms, considering legal aspects and leaning on ICTs for better knowledge, prevision and traceability.
Wild mushrooms are a high-quality product, greatly valued in both rural and urban by citizens. The mycological resource offers enormous economic potential for productive areas and its long-term sustainability must be respected. The added value must revert to people, as protagonists of the territory, improving expectations and generating wealth in rural areas, while preventing social emigration.
Pilot employment experiences related to inclusive entrepreneurship and social economy enterprises across the project value chain are needed, with the ultimate aim of generate sustainable and accessible tourism.
At the same time, mycological sector requires sound regulation to ensure the legal structure and the traceability essential in any commercial product. FungiGo arises from the need to address environmental, social and economic sustainability by piloting experiences of enhanced management models inspired by Mycological Parks, which ensure the sale of products and services with social, environmental and economic guarantees.
Based on this approach and aiming to solve the problems while taking advantage of the opportunities, technology provides us a number of tools with affordable costs that allow us to reach global markets, communicating our project and its values to myriads of people. At the same time, technology will allow us, through the collection and management of large databases (Big Data), to determine the traceability of the product, enabling the monitoring of all the stages from forest to home.
