La Seta en Cafe

Sobre Nosotros

La Seta en Cafe is a sustainable project labelled as the "mushroom movement" which provides Barcelona with fresh, gourmet mushrooms grown on coffee waste.

Historia

Our story is derived from the ZERI (Zero Emissions Research Institute) which means 'use what you have" and the magic of fungi achieves this through our philosophy. The inspiration of our sustainable project stems from Chido Govera and "the future of hope foundation" who shares an amazing story of poverty relief in Zimbabwe with the aid of mushroom cultivation from agricultural waste.

As our population increases, our resources and food security are under scrutiny. We are moving away from the notion that our future is defined by factory farming. Our hope is to utilise a more sustainable method of farming to combat our growing demands. As a population of consumers, we aim to mitigate the amount of waste we produce such as coffee waste by using it as means of a food source.

Every day, we as consumers drink over 2.25 billion cups of coffee, 99% of this goes to waste which can be used locally to provide a sustainable project in every city. We hope to make an small but vital impact on these numbers with our project.
