Agricultural waste becomes mushroom
The agricultural activities in the GAP region produces annually 4,5 tonnes of corn waste and 1,5 tonnes of cotton waste. A project developed by the Simurg team to recycle that waste both allows the use of agricultural waste, and additional income for farming families subsisting them for a year. The project called Mantarhane (Mushroom House) was designed as a mobile, volumetrically optimised production area to produce oyster mushrooms, which could be harvested in three months following the composting of agricultural waste.
