How Christmas Trees Could Become a Source of Low-Carbon Protein

82% Informative
Mycorrhizal Systems is cultivating fungi as a food crop from tree planting.
Plantation could sequester hundreds of kilos of carbon for every kilo of protein produced.
The project is at the forefront of mycoforestry, an emerging practice of cultivating fungi.
Mycorrhizal Systems is focusing on using fungal strains that are native to the UK .
1 kilogram of mushroom protein would be produced per 668 square meters of land, making it potentially more efficient than beef production.
The trial is initially concentrating on tree types most commonly used in UK forestry plantations.
The conventional way of growing Christmas trees is “quite an inefficient system,” says Mycorrhizal Systems Ltd. “You might be soaking up the carbon into the tree, but then you’re trashing the trees after Christmas .” This process could make future Christmas trees more sustainable, Jump believes.
