Today's Mycopreneur Podcast is the first ever episode with an alternate host: Ezequiel Cruz of Fungaria interviews Josephine Nakakande of Eco-Agric Uganda to discuss the role of mushroom entrepreneurship in uplifting socioeconomically challenged communities around the globe. Ezequiel hails from the state of Chiapas, Mexico, the southwestern most and poorest state in Mexico which maintains one of the world's most robust diversity of mushroom species and traditional indigenous knowledge waiting to be reclaimed. Josephine is in Uganda, where she teaches abjectly impoverished women and their communities how to grow mushrooms and start a mushroom business. They discuss the many environmental, social, and economic benefits of their mushroom entrepreneurship and the uplifting effects on the communities around them.
