Giuliana Furci: The Future Is Fungi

Season 1, Ep. 19
•

Today on the pod we’ve got an extraordinary opportunity to have a discourse with Giuliana Furci, Foundress of the Fungi Foundation.


Giuliana's accolades in the world of mycology and fungi diplomacy are globally renowned and meteorically impactful - Fungi Foundation is the world’s first NGO dedicated exclusively to the preservation and promotion of fungi conservation and education. One of the many crowning achievements of the foundation's work is getting the government of Chile to officially recognize the queendom of fungi in it’s environmental legislation, making it the First Nation globally to do so - we’re talk about what it means for fungi to receive government recognition and support, how to spearhead pro-fungi change in environmental policy and legislation, and we also talk about Fungi Diplomacy and how citizen diplomats and citizen scientists can effectively marshal change at institutional levels.


We’re also talk about the Future is Fungi event that Fungi Foundation and it’s coterie of prolific advocates are hosting tomorrow, Saturday June 26th online worldwide — and what the future of fungi in educational curriculums around the globe looks like.
