Abstract
Mushroom cultivation, also called fungiculture, is an activity that belongs to the agricultural
sector in Colombia. In recent years small-scale urban fungiculture has emerged in Bogotá,
due to the increase in demand for organic products, proteins of non-animal origin. and the
interest of producers to find an alternative livelihood. The research conducted seeks to
investigate the characteristics and environmental impacts of this activity, as well as its
relationship with agroecology. Through a case study of the productive chain of oyster
mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) in three productive units of three different localities, the
application of the Product Life Cycle Analysis (ACV) and the participatory design. The
advantages and disadvantages and possible improvements to promote the mushroom
sector in the city of this activity were determined.
The adjusted conceptual LCA allowed us to know the environmental impacts throughout all
the productive stages, from the obtaining of raw materials to the final disposal. It was found
that urban fungiculture in Bogotá is a young activity with a presence in almost all localities,
with productive units that are generally unregistered microenterprises and with an
inconsistent and small-scale artisanal production, which has more positive than negative
impacts ambient.
The mushroom growers recognize themselves as agroecologists and mycologists, which
displays their extensive knowledge in the area and their pedagogical function by stimulating
the exchange of knowledge within the city and promoting local actions for solid waste
management, and the promotion of consumption of vegan diets. These results suggest that fungiculture, which starts from an agroecological base, can be
a productive activity that generates more positive than negative impacts. Therefore, it
should be promoted among the food production sector, both urban and rural throughout
the country.
