Marta's Shimejito Farm

Direct:

• Creation of two new jobs at Marta's Shimejito Farm.
• Efficient use of water: the control recurring to Shimejito's proprietary technology allows savings of up to 80% in water compared to traditional production.
• Reduction of CO2 emissions, when compared to traditional production, as the carbon from agroforestry waste is stored in the soil.
• Zero-waste production through the use of organic material and the non-use of disposable plastic throughout the production.
• Sustainable agriculture production: after harvest, the mushrooms are purchased in full by Shimejito, which oversees their distribution. In turn, the mycelium is transformed into new soil additive

Indirect:

• Promotion of circular economy: at the Bio Factory, Shimejito produces mushroom substrate from sawdust, which is then sold to the farms. Later, it is collected again to be sold in the organic farming market.
• Promotion of local economic development through the creation of local partnerships with producers, distributors, and clients, who aligned with the purpose of transforming petrochemical into organic production, while also promoting the creation of a community around the topic.
