From nursery to truffle cultivation

The decline in truffle production and forest productivity is one of the most important factors to be considered in a near future.

However, a decrease in forest truffle production, followed by an increase in anthropogenic pressure from wild truffle harvesting, may favour the market for cultivated truffles. The globalisation of supply is now being exploited by the processing industry as an alternative to the lack of local production, but with worrying repercussions in terms of quality (e.g. ripeness of the product supplied, contaminants, freshness, etc.).

Truffle cultivation now represents an alternative source of agricultural income, especially in marginal areas of some countries. Thanks to the professionalism of some nurserymen, the adoption of quality standards verifiable by third parties and the training of new professional figures dedicated to pre- and post-planting advice, in the last 5 years truffle growing for income (not as a hobby) has started again a positive growth trend.

Our partner ETIFOR is organising the next 'Science to Practice' event related to truffles, which will be held in online format, and mainly in Italian, on 22 December at 17:00 (local time). The programme is available here.

About

El proyecto INCREDIBLE pretende mostrar cómo los productos forestales no maderables (PFNM) pueden desempeñar un papel importante en el apoyo a la gestión forestal sostenible y el desarrollo rural, mediante la creación de redes para compartir e intercambiar conocimientos y experiencia. INCREDIBLE (acrónimo de ‘Innovation Networks of Cork, Resins and Edibles in the Mediterranean basin’) promueve la colaboración e innovación intersectorial para destacar el valor y el potencial de los PFNM en la región.

Funding

El proyecto INCREDIBLE recibe fondos del programa Horizon 2020 de la Comisión Europea en el marco del acuerdo de subvención Nº 774.632.
