VOICED : Comer hongos en vez de carne en una ciudad asediada en Siria

In a war-torn area of Damascus, Syrians have turned to mushroom cultivation as a sustainable way to meet nutritional needs and provide employment. In Guta Oriental, where food prices have soared due to a blockade, mushrooms offer a viable alternative to meat. The cultivation process involves using barley seeds colonized by mushroom mycelium, yielding a significant amount of mushrooms in a few months. Despite economic hardships, mushrooms are distributed to the poor and sick, serving as a crucial protein source. This initiative not only addresses food scarcity but also empowers families with new skills.
